Hinesburg Our beautiful town is in northwestern Vermont, nestled against the edge of the Green Mountains, southeast of Burlington. Here is our village with the Green Mountains to the east (above), and historic Town Hall on Main Street (right).

Chartered in 1762, Hinesburg's history is rooted in farming and early water-powered manufacturing. Today, the village is still surrounded by open green farmland along the LaPlatte River, a relatively small town outside Burlington. About 6 miles square, the western half is in the Champlain Valley, the eastern half in the foothills of the Green Mountains.

The village contains State Hwy. 116 running north/south, a lively array of stores and services, the local elementary/middle school and local 4-town union high school, a number of manufacturing concerns and several parks and recreation facilities including Lake Iroquois, offering year-round activities.
