United States Vermont  Rutland   Tinmouth

Brief History
Chartered on Sept. 15, 1761, and organized on March 3, 1774, Tinmouth served as the county seat of Rutland County from the county’s formation in 1781 to 1784. The town apparently was the county’s center of population in the 18th century and it helped to have some of the major county administrators dwelling in town such as the state’s attorney, the county clerk and one of the three side judges. Eventually, the county seat shifted to Rutland.
