This article shows U.S. Census totals for Bennington County, Vermont, broken down by municipality, from 1900 to 2000. Most areas of New England are entirely divided into incorporated municipalities, with no unincorporated territory. In the three northern New England states, however, some unincorporated territory does exist, generally in areas that are very sparsely populated. Bennington County contains a small amount of unincorporated territory, one of four counties in Vermont to have such areas. The unincorporated territory in Bennington County consists of a tract measuring about , in a remote area of the Green Mountains on the county’s eastern edge. This area was once incorporated as the town of Glastenbury, and is still sometimes referred to as “Glastenbury Township”. Glastenbury disincorporated in 1937 due to population loss; its population has reached double figures in only one census since 1920. Except for Glastenbury, all of Bennington County is incorporated. There are three types of incorporated municipalities in Vermont: towns, cities and villages. As in the other New England states, towns are the basic unit of municipal government. Cities are independent of and equivalent to towns, but differ in their form of government. Villages overlay towns and assume responsibility for some municipal services within their boundaries. Incorporated villages are not found in any of the other New England states, and are less common in Vermont today than they have been in the past. A number of villages have disincorporated over the years, choosing to revert to full town control; most of those that remain are very small. The main tables below show municipalities at the town level. The tables in the New England Historical U.S. Census Totals series differentiate between towns and cities; however, there have never been any cities in Bennington County. For any census, adding up the totals for each town-level municipality, including Glastenbury, should yield the county total. (Note that, for censuses up through 1930, Glastenbury was an incorporated town. In that era, Bennington County was entirely divided into incorporated municipalities, following the standard procedure in New England.) A separate section follows with population totals for villages from 1930 to 2000.
