Wendell

Wendell is a unique community that combines traditional and alternative lifestyles.  It is a small rural town where the spirit of volunteerism and a helping hand sense of community prevail.  The town's land area is comprised of approximately 50% state forest or conservation trust acres, resulting in a lowpopulation density as 900 residents spread out over 20,000 acres.  Wendell is bordered on the north by Bear Mountain, which rises 1,281 feet above sea level.  


There are several "cottage industries" in Wendell.  Many crafters, artisans, musicians and dancers make their living in this former farming community and the Town Common is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.  Wendell is named for Oliver Wendell of Boston and was incorporated in 1781.
