Manchester, Vermont
Population: 4,180
Located in Bennington County
Manchester is unsurpassed in New England for its scenic vistas, historical and cultural attractions, renowned mountain resorts, quaint villages, sophisticated shopping, and virtually any mountain sports activity from hiking to mountain biking to skiing and snowboarding.
Manchester is the largest of nine towns in the Northshire of Bennington County. Bennington County is the only county in Vermont with two county seats, (probate districts). There are, therefore, two courthouses, one in Manchester Village and one in Bennington, which is the largest town in the county. The population of Bennington County is 35,848. State population is 562,758 as of the 1990 census.
Almost a quarter of Manchester is above 2,000 feet in altitude, while a little less than half is below 1,000 feet above sea level. These are important factors influencing climate and precipitation. The elevation at Bennington County Court House, Manchester Village, is 700 feet above sea level. Mt. Equinox in the Taconic Range is at 3,816 feet, the highest mountain in the town and in Bennington County.
