About Wells, Vermont 
Rutland County
*Area, Population and Density rankings above refer to Wells' relative position among Vermont's 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here.
Named for Wells, Somerset, England, which, in Benning Wentworth's time, was known for a small but particularly lovely cathedral dating from the 13th and 14th Centuries, and as a manufacturing center for woolen broadcloth. The area comprising present-day Wells and Poultney had been patented by New York as St. Catherine's (throughout the world, many a homesick Englishman has named a point of land St. Catherine's: for most colonials coming to the New World from England, the last sight they had of home was St. Catherine's Point on the Isle of Wight). All that remains of the New York patent is the name: Lake St. Catherine, a popular summer camp and state park area (the state park itself lies in Poultney) and its companion St. Catherine Mountain.
