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

Historians agree that Benning Wentworth probably named the town for Prince Rupert (1619-82), Count Palatine of Rhine, Duke of Bavaria, Duke of Cumberland and Earl of Holderness, despite the fact that he had been dead nearly 80 years by the time of the Grants. He was a national hero beloved by all Englishmen.

One of Rupert’s first settlers, an original grantee, was Reuben Harmon, the metalsmith who was given the right to mint coins for the young Republic of Vermont in 1785. Harmon’s Mint was in East Rupert on a small stream now known as Hagar’s Brook.
