Manchester, Mountain resort town in Bennington County, United States.
Manchester sits at 281 meters elevation in Vermont's Green Mountains, featuring numerous hiking trails and outdoor recreational areas throughout its 42 square miles.
The town received its charter in 1761 from New Hampshire Governor Benning Wentworth, who named it after Robert Montagu, the third Duke of Manchester.
The Southern Vermont Arts Center maintains rotating art exhibitions, educational initiatives, and year-round programming that draws visitors from across New England.
The town connects to major northeastern cities through four highways, including US Route 7 and Vermont Routes 7A, 30, and 11.
Jake Burton Carpenter developed modern snowboard designs in his Manchester garage, leading to early snowboarding acceptance at nearby Stratton Mountain resort.
