The population was 276 at the 2000 census. Most of the village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 as the Westminster Village Historic District. GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.3 square miles (3.4 km²), all of it land. The village is centered on the junction of United States Route 5 with School and Grout Streets, and extends mainly along US 5. Its western end is roughly Metcalf Drive and Cox Street, and its eastern end is the old cemetery. On School Street the district extends north at least as far as Thompson Road.[4] HistoryWestminster, located in the southeastern part of Vermont, was the first town to be chartered, in 1736 by the Province of Massachusetts Bay. The layout of the village center took place in 1736-37, and initially called for an unusually broad Main Street (now US 5). The basic plan for the village today still shows elements of this plan, with a still-broad main road layout (reduced in width in 1781 after the original plan was deemed too wide), and in the placement of municipal and civic buildings. The town hall, for example, is built on the foundation of the 18th century colonial meeting house, retaining its exterior dimensions.[4] Because Westminster was in an area disputed by several colonial governments, it had a second charter issued by the Province of New Hampshire in 1740, only to have that charter invalidated by a crown decision awarding the Vermont area to the Province of New York in 1764. This territorial dispute culminated in the formation of Vermont as a separate state, but not without bloodshed. Two men were fatally wounded in the Westminster massacre on March 13, 1775 in a dispute between supporters of the New York claim (led by the local New York-appointed sheriff), and a group of anti-New Yorkers occupying the courthouse. This event was significant in leading to the eventual declaration of the Vermont Republic in 1777, and its admission to the Union as a separate state in 1793. Westminster was one of the seats of the republic's legislature, and served as a county seat until 1787.[4] Demographics{{US Census population|1920= 313 |1930= 320 |1940= 270 |1950= 298 |1960= 333 |1970= 446 |1980= 319 |1990= 399 |2000= 276 |2010= 291 |estyear=2016 |estimate=278 |estref=[5] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[6] }} As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 276 people, 118 households, and 78 families residing in the village.
