Rutland Town is pure Vermont with its beautiful country setting — yet it surprises with its level of commerce, industry and culture

The Town of Rutland, Vermont has a population of 4054 residents and is the third largest municipality in Rutland County. Manufacturers such as General Electric and Isovolta Inc. are located in the southern section of the town along with the  Green Mountain Shopping Plaza and numerous car dealers. With world-class skiing just up the road, at the Killington and Pico ski areas, there are over 400 hotel and motel rooms in town as well as numerous restaurants — all well staffed and ready to serve their guests.

Chartered in 1761 the town was later divided to create the additional municipalities which are now the Town of Proctor, the Town of West Rutland and the City of Rutland. The present 12,000 acres of the town is home to all types of residences, farms, and considerable commercial activity which provides a significant number of manufacturing jobs.

Rutland Town, as it is commonly called, was the first Vermont town to establish a web presence when it launched its first web site in February 1996. Town officials are traditionally committed to providing useful information to town residents as well as access to local government. In order to keep the public up to date on local government activities, you will find the Select Board, Planning Commission, and Recreation Commission meeting minutes here as well as other important community information and news.

Thank you for visiting! We hope you will consider traveling to our town to meet the very people that make the Town of Rutland a great place to live, work and play.
