Saint Albans: Rail Town on the Road to Canada
Saint Albans sits in Franklin County about 15 miles south of the Quebec border and serves as the regional hub for northwestern Vermont. The city and the surrounding town together hold roughly 14,000 residents. The Central Vermont Railway established its headquarters in Saint Albans in 1848, and the railroad yards and maintenance shops were the largest employer in the region for more than a century.
On October 19, 1864, a group of Confederate soldiers based in Canada raided three Saint Albans banks and escaped across the border with about $200,000. The Saint Albans Raid was the northernmost land action of the American Civil War. The raiders were eventually captured in Canada but were not extradited, and the incident strained U.S.-British relations for the remainder of the war. The Saint Albans Historical Museum maintains exhibits on the raid.
