Berlin (/ˈbɜːrlɪn/ BUR-lin) is a town in Washington County, Vermont, United States, founded in 1763.

[5] The grantees who received the 70 original rights to the township were priests, merchants and judges.

The charter was issued by the Royal Governor of New Hampshire, Benning Wentworth, and stated that each "proprietor, settler or inhabitant" should pay one ear of Indian corn for each acre of land, and after ten years, one shilling for each 100 acres.

In 1788 a legislature of the state of Vermont stated that "the town of Randolph, Braintree, Brookfield, Roxbury, Williamstown, Northfield, Wildersburgh, Berlin and Montpelier [...] hereby are formed into one entire probate district, by the name of the district of Randolph.

"[6] Jacob Fowler, a hunter, was the first settler who stayed and left descendants in town.

Other early settlers were Moses Smith, Daniel Morse, John Lathrop, and Hezekiah Silloway.

Government buildings in Berlin include the headquarters of the Vermont Lottery Commission.

Parts of Berlin are easily accessible from both Montpelier and Barre, and as such, many of the area's national chain stores are located there.

The Midstate Regional Library is now closed and the Berlin Barracks of the Vermont State Police are now in that space.
