Built around the Winooski River valley, Bolton grew into a rural town extending into Vermont’s Green Mountains. Forested ridges shape its higher ground, including the Bolton Valley area, while the river marks part of the town’s southern edge. Bolton was chartered in 1763, and Bolton Valley Resort, opened in 1966, later established a lasting connection with skiing and other mountain activities. Hiking and mountain biking continue after the snow season, and the Long Trail passes through the Green Mountains nearby. Bolton remains more dispersed and rural than the Burlington area to the west.
