West Fairlee is a small hill town on the western edge of Orange County, best known today for its quiet back roads and farms — but in the late 1800s it sat at the edge of one of Vermont's biggest industrial booms, the Ely copper mine just over the town line in Vershire, which at its peak employed nearly 900 miners and turned a hillside into a boomtown almost overnight.

About West Fairlee, VT
The Ely copper mine, discovered in 1821 and worked on and off for nearly a century, built an entire boomtown on the Vershire side of the line — churches, stores, a doctor's office, all supporting hundreds of Irish and English immigrant miners. It also produced one of Vermont's most dramatic labor disputes: in 1883, miners furious over months of unpaid wages marched on the West Fairlee boarding house where mine owner Smith Ely lay sick in bed, chanting "Bread or Blood" — an episode remembered today as the Ely War. The mine and the boomtown are long gone, reclaimed by forest, but the strike remains one of the more remarkable moments in Vermont labor history — and West Fairlee's own quiet, rural character today is a world away from that industrial peak.
What West Fairlee, VT buyers and renters should know
West Fairlee is mostly working farms and rural homesteads today, and that's exactly what we deliver for — equipment storage, general overflow, or secure space on a property well off the beaten path.
We'll confirm the exact route with you before delivery day, since a lot of West Fairlee's back roads are longer and less traveled than our closer river-valley towns.
