Mount Tabor is a town in Rutland County, of the Rutland-Killington region.
Originally granted as Harwich, for Wills Hill, Earl of Hillsborough and Baron Harwich, the name was changed in 1803 because it was so similar to Hardwick that mail was being delivered to the wrong town.
Mount Tabor was named for Gideon Tabor, a Revolutionary War veteran who, before he died in 1824, had been Town Clerk for 28 years and Representative to the Legislature & Justice of the Peace for 30 years.
