Located on Otter Creek, Rutland was created in 1761 via a land grant instituted by colonial Governor Benning Wentworth, who named it after John Manner, the 3rd Duke of Rutland. It was originally called Mill Village.
The discovery of high-quality marble in the area started of a quarrying industry which began in the early 19th century and continued into the 1980s, when the marbles were finally exhausted. The closure of the quarries resulted in a heavy loss of jobs in Rutland.
