- Peru - Population 375.

- Walden - Population 782.
Flickr/Alison This community has no zip code of its own. Mail to Walden addresses is routed through the West Danville and East Hardwick post offices.
- Woodford - Population 424.
Flickr/Adrian Scottow Woodford’s town center lies at an elevation of 2,215 feet above sea level, the highest of any town in the state of Vermont.

Wikipedia.org According to the sign in the town center, this is the only town in the world named Guildhall. The name derives from a meeting house on the square called the Guildhall.
- Mount Tabor - population 255.
Wikipedia.org Nestled into the Green Mountain National Forest, many might miss Mount Tabor if they’re not paying attention.
- Stannard - Population 216.

- Lemington - Population 104.
Flickr/Doug Kerr At just 104 people in the town, what Lemington lacks in people they certainly make up for in charm!
- Brookline - Population 467.
Wikipedia.org Small town drama occurred in the 1800s when the round schoolhouse here was led by Dr. John Wilson, who was later unmasked as the infamous highwayman Captain Thunderbolt.
- Somerset - Population 2.
