*Area, Population and Density rankings refer to Woodstock’s relative position among Vermont’s 255 civic entities (9 cities, 242 towns, 4 gores and grants). Complete rankings are here.

Several possibilities exist for the name: Woodstock, Connecticut; Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England, a medieval royal residence; either of two men named William Bentinck (father and son), both at one time or another, Viscount Woodstock.

Long a favorite summer resort and near the site of the first ski tow in the US, the district illustrates harmonious development over nearly two centuries. It includes a wide variety of architecturally outstanding buildings for residential, commercial, and public use. A number of the buildings surround a tree-shaded elliptical green.

Alvin Adams established the first express line in the country here in 1824, later to become Railway Express.

Utilities

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).
