Description: Barre, VERMONT - BIRDSEYE - 1912: Barre is the most populous city in Washington County, Vermont, United States. As of the 2010 census, the municipal population was 9,052. Popularly referred to as "Barre City", it is almost completely surrounded by "Barre Town", which is a separate municipality. Barre is often twinned with the nearby Vermont state capital of Montpelier in local media and businesses. It is the main city in the Barre-Montpelier metropolitan area, which has nearly 60,000 residents and is Vermont's third largest metropolitan area after those of Burlington and Rutland. Barre is also Vermont's fourth largest city. Barre is the self-proclaimed "Granite Center of the World". Initially established with the discovery of vast granite deposits at Millstone Hill soon after the War of 1812, the granite industry and the city itself saw a boom with the arrival of the railroad. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1912, is in good condition, but there is some edge wear. F. W. Woolworth & Co.
