Killington is a town in Rutland County, Vermont, United States.

[5] The town voted to revert to its original name of Killington on March 2, 1999; which was approved by the Vermont General Assembly and became effective July 1, 1999.

[6] The 2007 town meeting considered a proposal to impose a three-cent surcharge on every dollar of property tax revenue.

[7] Killington was one of thirteen Vermont towns isolated by flooding caused by Hurricane Irene on August 28, 2011.

[8] Killington's voters have twice voted to secede from Vermont and join the State of New Hampshire, 25 miles (40 km) to the east.

The movement stems from what some residents perceive as an inequity in taxes sent to the state of Vermont, for services received.

The votes are largely symbolic, as secession is highly unlikely and would require the agreement of both states' legislatures, as well as that of the U.S. Congress.
