Barre City, Washington County, Vermont Genealogy
Contents
Brief History[edit | edit source]
Originally the village of Barre within Barre Town until the Legislature made the division on November 23, 1894. Four villages, Thwingsville, Gospel Village, Factory Village, and Jockey Hollow were initially separate entities within the city limits.
Although the separate village identities have long since disappeared into the city, you can still hear old-timers using them as area designations.
Barre is the center of Vermont's granite industry, home to the Rock of Ages quarries. [1] [2]
