					<description><![CDATA[Montpelier, like a lot of major cities, is located along a river. The Winooski River, deriving its name from the Abenaki word for &#8220;where the wild onion grows,&#8221; is a vital 90-mile waterway in Vermont, flowing from the&#160;Cabot&#160;area to Lake Champlain. It shaped the region’s history by powering early&#160;sawmills&#160;and textile industries, most notably through&#160;Ira Allen&#8217;s [&#8230;]]]></description>
