White River Valley

The White River Valley is a region in central Vermont, United States. The area is a natural river valley of the White River.

As defined by the valley's chamber of commerce, it includes eleven towns: Bethel, Braintree, Brookfield, Chelsea, Hancock, Randolph, Rochester, Royalton, Sharon, Stockbridge, and Tunbridge.[1]

The White River Valley Consortium works to address regional issues in the area, among fourteen towns, also including Granville, Pittsfield, and Strafford.[2][3]

The Herald, also known as the White River Valley Herald and The Herald of Randolph, has served sixteen towns in the White River Valley since 1874.[4]

The area was once heavily farmed, though reforestation efforts by the Civilian Conservation Corps were especially evident in the region.[5]
