Berkshire is a city in the state of Vermont in the United States near the Canadian border. Although a clear population center is the town according to the census of the year 2010 has about 1,692 residents not to recognize. Rather, spread over the territory of the town are many small home gatherings, usually with less than a dozen houses. Correspondingly low social infrastructure of the town is pronounced: Berkshire has a primary school and two churches: Roman Catholic, and the Assemblies of God, both in the district of East Berkshire. The inhabitants of the village live mainly from agriculture and forestry; Berkshire for about 20 years but increasingly serves as a bedroom community for commuters in the industrial areas further away.

Founded in 1781, the place was as one of six locations in the area that served to supply the Vermontschen Army: the sale proceeds of the settlements and the taxes of the settlers were to help her. The history of the city was without notable events.

Nearest towns are Enosburgh, about 5 km to the south, Franklin in the west and Richford in the east (about 10 km). In the north, already on the Canadian side, is the nearest large settlement Sutton, about 12 km away.
