City in Vermont, United States

Winooski /w//ɪ/'/n//uː//s//k//i/ is a city in Chittenden County, Vermont, United States. Located on the Winooski River, as of the 2020 U. S. census the municipal population was 7,997. The city is the most densely populated municipality in northern New England, an area comprising the states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. It is the smallest of Vermont's 10 cities by area, though the city of Vergennes has the smallest population. As part of the Burlington, Vermont metropolitan area, it is bordered by Burlington, Colchester, and South Burlington.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.5 square miles (3.9 km2), of which 0.1 sq mi (0.2 km2) (5.30%) is covered by water.

As early as 750 CE, the Abenaki tribe lived along the shores of a cascading waterfall in a fertile river valley they called Winoskitegw, meaning “land of the wild onion". Winooski's southern border is formed by the Winooski River, which is alternatively known as the Onion River.

Situated on a main road, Winooski most likely started as a rest stop for travelers. With a set of waterfalls to assist the growth of industry, however, it soon also became a center for wool processing. In 1846, James and Lucinda Stone from Winooski settled in Sheboygan County in the Wisconsin Territory and named their new settlement Winooski, Wisconsin.

The American Woolen Company purchased the failing Burlington Mills in 1901, restoring a measure of economic growth to the area. This success eventually led Winooski to incorporate as a city in 1922, breaking away from the town of Colchester. The mills closed in 1954, resulting in two decades of economic problems for the city. Though the dome was never built, in 2009 the city's planner defended the concept, insisting, "Economically, it's a slam dunk," and adding, "You could have had year round fly fishing." In 2008, the city dismissed their city manager of 11 months, while he was still an at will employee. His contract had been scheduled for three years.
