Chittenden County, Administrative county in northwestern Vermont, US
Chittenden County stretches from Lake Champlain on the west to the Green Mountains on the east, bringing together cities like Burlington with rural surroundings. The area contains varied landscapes, water features, and forests that shape the character of the region.
The county was established in 1787 and named after Thomas Chittenden, Vermont's first governor after the state gained independence. This early founding made it one of the original administrative divisions of the newly formed state.
