Villages and bygone villages


Garfield is located in the northeast corner of Hyde Park. In the late 1800s, Garfield was a village with a store, a post office (added in 1890), a school, and two sawmills. In 1922 the sawmill owned by Charles William Manning (1864–1946) burned down and he decided not to replace it, causing the loss of many jobs. Residents began to leave Garfield. Eventually their abandoned farms reverted to wilderness. The area remains thickly wooded and sparsely developed to this day. It is best known as the Morrisville turnoff point for the Green River Reservoir State Park.
Hyde Park village is in the southern part of town, on a hill rising above the north bank of the Lamoille River
North Hyde Park is in the northwest corner of the town, along the Gihon River. Part of the settled area extends west into the town of Johnson.
Centerville is in the center of the town, along Centerville Road where it crosses Centerville Brook, a south-flowing tributary of the Lamoille.
