This article appears in Volume V03, Page 432 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BARRE , a city of Washington county,
Vermont
 , U.S.A., in the
north
  central
part
  of the state, about 6 m. S.E. of Montpelier. Pop. (1890) 4146; (1900) 8448, of whom 2831 were foreign-born; (1910,
census
 ) 10,734. It is served by the Central
Vermont
  and the Montpelier & Wells River railways, and is connected by electric
street
  railways with Montpelier. Barre is an important seat of the granite industry, and manufactures monuments and tombstones,
stone
 -cutting implements and other machinery. In 1905 the city's factory products were valued at $3,373,046, of which 86.9 % was the value of the monuments and tombstones manufactured. Among its institutions are the
Aldrich
  public library and Goddard
Seminary
  (187o; Universalist). There is a beautiful granite statue of Burns (by J. Massey Rhind), erected in 1899 by the Scotsmen of Barre. The water-works are owned and operated by the municipality. Settled soon after the close of the War of Independence, the township of Barre (pop. in 191o, 4194) was organized in 1793 and named in honour of
Isaac
  Barre (17261802), a defender of American rights in the British
parliament
 . The present city, chartered in 1894, was originally a
part
  of the township.
