Windham County, County seat in southeastern Vermont, United States.
Windham County extends across 40 square miles of varied landscape with hills, valleys, and the West River flowing through its communities.
The county formed in 1781 and established Newfane as its administrative center, with original county buildings located on Newfane Hill until 1825.
The county maintains traditional New England governance through local selectboards managing administrative duties across its twenty-three incorporated municipalities.
The Windham County offices in Newfane operate Monday through Thursday, providing municipal services, probate court proceedings, and emergency response coordination.
The West River within Windham County yielded the largest gold nugget discovered in the entire New England region.
