Lamoille County

Lamoille County is an administrative county in northern Vermont with mountainous terrain throughout its territory. The Green Mountains run through the western portion, with rivers and streams flowing across the landscape.

The Vermont Legislature created this county in 1836 by combining lands from four surrounding counties. This reorganization established a new administrative unit in the northern part of the state.

The region is known for traditional covered bridges crossing its rivers and shaping the landscape. Hikers regularly explore the Long Trail that runs along the ridge of the Green Mountains.

Hyde Park serves as the county seat, while Morristown functions as the main commercial hub where visitors find services and supplies. Exploring the region by car works best, as rural roads and highways connect the scattered communities.

Mount Belvidere in the area once housed an asbestos mining operation that remained active into the 20th century. After it closed, the site became the focus of environmental research studies.
