The American Woolen Company purchased the failing Burlington Mills in 1901, restoring a measure of economic growth to the area. This success eventually led Winooski to incorporate as a city in 1922, breaking away from the town of Colchester. The mills closed in 1954, resulting in two decades of economic problems for the city.


In the 1980s, two old mills were converted into commercial, office, and apartment space, helping to revitalize the area.In 1979, the city researched the construction of a dome over the entire city of Winooski, to reduce heating costs during the winter. The proposed dome would have been 200 feet (61 m) at the center, and internal combustion engines would have been banned.


Though the dome was never built, to this day, the city's planner defends the concept, insisting, "Economically, it's a slam dunk," and adding, "You could have had year-round fly-fishing."In 2008, the city dismissed their city manager of 11 months, while he was still an at-will employee. His contract had been scheduled for three years.
