The meadows and flats along the Winooski River were known among Native peoples for growing corn. Nearly two hundred acres of rich, level land sheltered by the surrounding valley, near the meeting of several streams, made the site good for hunting, fishing and trade, and the first settlers found Native mounds and burial markers, some traces of which remain. European settlement between 1600 and 1800 brought war, disease and dispersal that nearly destroyed the Native communities, though some Native people remained in the area as late as the mid-1800s.
The Town of Montpelier was chartered by the State of Vermont on August 14, 1781. The first permanent settlement began in May 1787, when Colonel Jacob Davis and General Parley Davis came from Charlton, Massachusetts. Parley Davis surveyed the land while Jacob cleared forest and built a large log house on the west side of the North Branch of the Winooski, and his family moved in the next winter. Colonel Davis chose the name after Montpellier in France, reflecting the widespread enthusiasm for France after its help in the Revolution. The settlement grew quickly, reaching 117 people by 1791, when a town meeting was established, and a bridge was built across the Winooski to Berlin by 1799. The town charter was reissued on February 6, 1804. Montpelier was chosen as the state capital in 1805, and its citizens raised money to build the first state house.
