See Homes in Town of Buels Gore Vermont

Located in the extreme southeastern corner of Chittenden County, Buel's Gore was formed out of land left over after surveys of surrounding towns were completed. A large portion of Camels Hump State Forest lays within its boundaries. Vermont Route 17 winds its way through the Appalachian Gap, a mountain gap with excellent scenic views. A population of twelve live within the rugged, forested community.

The town's triangular shape contributed to its designation as a "gore." First used by the Middle English, gore was adapted from the Old English "gar," which meant "spear." Spear points are triangular, and the Middle English used the term to refer to a triangular piece of land, which is the first choice of use in today's dictionaries. In sewing, a gore is a triangular piece of cloth deliberately inserted to provide ease or fullness to a garment. It is not, as some have stated, a leftover piece of cloth.
