== History ==
The town of Killington was chartered on July 7, 1761 by a New Hampshire grant. In 1800, it was renamed Sherburne〔(Virtual Vermont.com ) accessed March 8, 2008〕 after landholder Colonel Benjamin Sherburne.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Profile for Sherburne, Vermont )〕 The town voted to revert to its original name of Killington on March 2, 1999; which was approved by the Vermont General Assembly, and became effective July 1, 1999.〔(''2000 Docs ); Vermont Government, online; accessed .〕
The 2007 town meeting considered a proposal to impose a three cent surcharge on every dollar of property tax revenue. The proceeds would have been used to fund a town economic development group. The surcharge was not approved by the voters.〔(''Aid?'' ); Rutland Herald; accessed .〕
Killington was one of thirteen Vermont towns isolated by flooding caused by Hurricane Irene on August 28, 2011. Killington was cut off for 19 days.〔(''Floodwaters from Storm Isolate 13 Vermont Towns'' ); article; The New York Times online; accessed .〕
