Guildhall, Vermont
Guildhall (/ˈɡɪlhɔːl/ GIL-hawl) is a town in and the shire town (county seat) of Essex County, Vermont, United States. As of the 2020 census, the population was 262. According to a large sign in the town center, it is the only town in the world so named. The name derives from a meeting house on the square called the Guildhall.
Guildhall is part of the Berlin, New Hampshire – Vermont Micropolitan Statistical Area.
Guildhall was chartered by New Hampshire's colonial governor, Benning Wentworth, in 1761. Its grantees and original settlers were from Lancaster and Lunenburg, Massachusetts, and they named towns on opposite sides of the Connecticut River in New Hampshire and Vermont for their Massachusetts hometowns. The southern part of the original town of Lunenburg, Vermont was chartered as Lunenburg in 1763, while the northern portion was renamed Guildhall.
After Guildhall was chartered, a small group of settlers built temporary cabins and camps and began to clear the land. As the population began to grow, the first recorded town meeting took place in 1783. Guildhall is heavily wooded, as are several other towns in Essex County, and lumbering was once a major portion of the local economy. The Guildhall Village Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The district includes Guildhall's village center and encompasses the central common and several nearby buildings.
Guildhall is in northeastern Vermont, along the Connecticut River, the border between Vermont and New Hampshire. The town is bordered to the southwest by Lunenburg, to the northwest by Granby, and to the north by Maidstone, Vermont. To the southeast, across the Connecticut, are the towns of Northumberland and Lancaster, New Hampshire.
U.S. Route 2 passes through the southern corner of the town, leading west into Lunenburg and east across the Connecticut into Lancaster. Vermont Route 102 runs north from Route 2 and follows the Connecticut into Maidstone.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town of Guildhall has a total area of 33.1 square miles (85.7 km2), of which 32.8 square miles (84.9 km2) is land and 0.3 square miles (0.8 km2), or 0.94%, is water.
The highest point is Stone Mountain, in the western part of town, with an elevation of 2,736 feet (834 m).
