The population was 714 at the 2010 census.[3] GeographyRupert is located in the northwest corner of Bennington County, bordered by Washington County, New York, to the west and Rutland County, Vermont, to the north. The town is situated in the Taconic Mountains; the highest point is a {{convert|3010|ft|adj=on}} summit on the ridge of Bear Mountain in the southeast corner of the town. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|115.5|sqkm|disp=flip}}, of which {{convert|115.4|sqkm|disp=flip}} is land and {{convert|0.1|sqkm|disp=flip|2}}, or 0.08%, is water.[3] The northern portion of the town is drained by the Mettawee River and Indian River, tributaries of Lake Champlain, while the rest of the town drains to the Batten Kill in New York and eventually the Hudson River. The northeast corner of town is crossed by Vermont Route 30, following the Mettawee River. Vermont Route 153 runs north–south through the western part of the town before crossing into New York. Vermont Route 315 runs east–west through the center of the town, connecting to VT 30 in East Rupert and to VT 153 in Rupert proper. The town also has the hamlets of West Rupert (on VT 153) and North Rupert (on VT 30). HistoryMany historians agree that Benning Wentworth, colonial governor of New Hampshire, gave Rupert its name, after Prince Rupert of the Rhine (1619–82).{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}} Prince Rupert was a prominent figure in the English Civil War and afterwards. One of Rupert's first settlers was Reuben Harmon, a metalsmith, who was given the right to mint coins, called Vermont coppers, for the Republic of Vermont. Harmon's Mint is still standing today at Southwind Farm in North Rupert, the building was moved from the original site in East Rupert on a small stream known as Hagar's Brook.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}} Rupert is the filming location for seasons 1-10 of the syndicated PBS cooking show Cook's Country. The iconic white country house, known as Carver House, is located near the center of town on the corner of Rupert Avenue and West Pawlett Road {{coord|43.25988|N|73.22325|W|}} across the road from the Rupert Methodist Church. Christopher Kimball, former Executive Producer and Host of Cook's Country, maintains a residence nearby.
