Woodbury is a town in Washington County, Vermont, United States. The population was 928 at the 2020 census.^[3]

History

Woodbury was chartered and settled in the late 18th century. After the U.S. Civil War, granite quarrying became a viable business, and the Hardwick and Woodbury Railroad was built to transport stone from the quarries to finishing shops in nearby Hardwick, which had a rail connection to the outside world. Woodbury's granite finishing business faded away, although granite is still quarried in the town and "Woodbury Gray" granite is still sold.^[4]^[5]
