History

At the same time, the famous quarries of Carrara, Italy in Tuscany, Italy, became largely unworkable because of their extreme depth, and Rutland quickly became one of the leading producers of marble in the world. By the 1840s small firms had begun operations, but marble quarry only became profitable when the railroad came to Rutland in 1851. The closing of the marble quarries in the town in the 1980s and 1990s cost the area many jobs, and Proctor has struggled much more than its neighbors. Proctor is home to the Vermont Marble Museum and Wilson Castle.

In the early 1800s, small high-quality marble deposits were discovered in Rutland, and in the 1830s a large deposit of nearly solid marble of high quality was found in what is now West Rutland, Vermont Rutland. Proctor was formed around the nucleus of the old Sheffield Village from parts of Rutland and Pittsford, Vermont Proctor was named for and almost completely owned by United States Senate Redfield Proctor.
