About Montpelier

Montpelier is the capital of Vermont and the smallest state capital by population in the United States. The city sits in the north-central part of the state along the Winooski River, surrounded by green hills and forests. Its name comes from Montpellier, France, and it became the capital in 1805. Montpelier's compact downtown is lined with historic brick and wooden buildings, and its small-town charm draws visitors interested in New England architecture. The Vermont State House, a gold-domed landmark, anchors the city's government district. Montpelier's independent shops, local food, and easy access to outdoor recreation give it a distinctive, community-focused character. Nearby, the Green Mountains offer hiking, skiing, and scenic drives through the changing foliage of autumn. The city's farmers' markets and locally owned cafés reflect Vermont's long-standing ties to farming.
