About Essex Junction

Essex Junction is a small Chittenden County city in the Burlington area, just southwest of the larger town of Essex. Its name reflects its rail history, and the city still feels like a compact service center within Vermont's largest metro region. Technology has been important here for decades: IBM opened a major data-processing facility in 1958, and GlobalFoundries remains part of the local employment landscape. Essex Junction is also known for the Champlain Valley Exposition, a large event grounds that hosts fairs, concerts, and community gatherings.
