About Essex Junction, VT

The village history was affected in a major way by the presence of IBM (now GlobalFoundries), which chose Essex Junction as the site for its facility in 1958. In 1958, IBM leased a 40,000 square feet (3,700 m 2) facility in the southeast part of the village for its new Data Processing Division. By the end of the year, there were 500 workers. In 1969, the plant expanded to 820,000 square feet (7.6 ha). In 1982, employment reached an all-time high of 8,000.
