The community is located midway between Richmond and President James Madison's home "Montpelier", and may have been named for the famous estate, which is a tourist attraction.

Formerly consisting primarily of farmland and a small business district, today Montpelier is a suburb of Richmond and serves as a bedroom community for many residents who commute to jobs in large metropolitan areas such as Richmond.
