Berlin is a town in Washington County, Vermont, United States. The population was 2,864 at the 2000 census. Being the town between Barre, Vermont and Montpelier, Vermont, the two largest cities in the region, much of the commercial business of the region can be found in Berlin, including parts of the Barre-Montpelier Road (U.S. Route 302), and the Berlin Mall.

Timothy Dwight Hobart (1855-1935) left the position of Berlin school superintendent in 1882 to launch a career as a landowner, surveyor, and rancher in the Texas Panhandle. He was manager of the JA Ranch from 1931 until his death and co-executor of the estate of JA owner Cornelia Adair. In 1929, Hobart was elected mayor of Pampa, the seat of Gray County, Texas.
