Complete rankings are here. Like Essex in Chittenden County and Chittenden in Rutland County, Washington is not in the county of the same name. With nothing to contradict, it has alway been assumed to have been named for George Washington, as were all other so-named places in the US.

Neighboring Towns [Top]
This is a basic geographic reference, intended to show relative location of adjacent towns. Directional accuracy is limited to 16 compass points. There isn't even the slightest suggestion that one can necessarily travel directly from one town to the next (as in "You can't get there from here").

Utilities [Top] Notes about utilities: One electric or phone company indicates that company serves the entire town. More than one of either indicates each serves different areas of town. A listed cable company MIGHT mean the entire town is covered, but not necessarily. More than one listed indicates each serves different areas of town. Unless your area is one served by Vermont's only gas utility, your only option is bottled gas (any dealer).
