Barre is a town in Washington County, Vermont, United States. The population was 7,923 at the 2020 census, making it the 3rd largest municipality in Washington County and the 16th largest municipality in Vermont. Popularly referred to as "Barre Town", the Town of Barre almost completely surrounds the City of Barre, which is a separate municipality. The original town now known as Barre was first chartered in 1780 as the town of Wildersburgh. In 1793 the name Wildersburgh was unpopular with the inhabitants and the name of the town was changed to Barre. In 1895 the City of Barre was incorporated and separated from the Town of Barre, and both continue to exist as separate municipalities.
