Description

Bird's eye view map of Barre, Vermont, published by Geo. E. Norris in 1891.

The self-proclaimed "Granite Center of the World" began its life as an American town in 1780, then called Wildersburgh. Citizens renamed the town Barre in honor of Isaac Barre (1726-1802), an Irish soldier and politician who coined the term "Sons of Liberty" in support of American Whigs against Britain. The map captures the town four years before a separate city of four square miles was created within its boundaries that still exists today.

Shortly after the War of 1812, one of the world's largest granite deposits was discovered at Millstone Hill. Native Americans who occupied the region prior to American settlement were aware of the presence of granite deposits, but it was American geologists who discovered the extent of the find. When word reached Europe about the vast deposit, stone workers from across Europe began to migrate to the area. The arrival of the railroad in 1875, making the transport of granite to markets much easier, triggered the boom of the granite industry in Barre. The influx of skilled craftsmen from Scotland, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Greece, England, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Norway, Ireland, Denmark, Yugoslavia and Lebanon resulted in forming one of the most culturally diverse communities in Vermont.

The map includes a small inset illustration of Main Street south of Trotting Park.
