Barre, Vermont (population 9,291) was founded in 1780 and given the name of Wildersburgh.
The name of the community was eventually changed to Barre, and in 1895 approximately four square miles of the more populated area of the town was carved out, creating the City of Barre as a separate governmental entity.
The granite industry in Barre was established soon after the War of 1812 and the arrival of the railroad helped it become a major industry.

 About The Barre Granite Industry
The story of Barre and of the Barre granite industry, is a story of true Americanism, a story of pioneers, immigrant artists and craftsmen, and of an art form born of Old World tradition and New World ideals and methods.
Barre was the first to install permanent derricks, the first to utilize the steam drill, the first to use the electric battery in blasting and the first to introduce many innovations which revolutionized quarrying and production of granite in many lands.
Barre in turn, in 1890, established a railroad called the "Sky Route," with a grade of 250 feet per mile from the Barre Terminus to the quarries on the "Hill." This all-rail route from the quarries had a tremendous economical and psychological effect upon the community.
