The Town of Rutland
Rutland was founded in the late 1930's with a small population of only eighty nine people. At the time, it was a small town of only about five square miles. After WW2, the town became bigger, quickly growing and expanding. During Vietnam, the town began to grow bigger, growing to almost thirty square miles. The population continued to grow well into the nineties, growing to over 20,000 people. In late 2021, several smaller towns were combined into Rutland under Rutland juristicidation.
Today, Rutland has close to 50,000 people living there in around 70 square miles. Rutland responds to over 9,000 calls a year and steadily grows. In recent years, Rutland has begun to struggle with funding for it's emergency services. Regardless, Rutland still strives to do it's best and give back to the community. Rutland operates four stations, one of them a volunteer department.
