History of Killington

JuteVilla
The town of Killington was chartered on July 7, 1761 by a New Hampshire grant. In 1800 it was renamed Sherburne after landholder Colonel Benjamin Sherburne. The town voted to revert to its original name of Killington on March 2, 1999; which was approved by the Vermont General Assembly, and became effective July 1, 1999.

The 2007 town meeting considered a proposal to impose a three cent surcharge on every dollar of property tax revenue. The proceeds would have been used to fund a town economic development group. The surcharge was not approved by the voters.

Killington was one of thirteen Vermont towns
