Vermont History
Vermont, tucked in the Northeast corner of the U.S., is the second smallest
state in the Country with a population of less than 1 million people. Vermont
was originally populated by various indigenous peoples of the Algonquin, Iroquois,
and Abenaki nations. Many of Vermont town, county, river, and lake names are
derivatives of old Indian names. The original Vermonters traveled and lived
off the abundance of the land. Vermont's hills were filled with wildlife, and
fish were bountiful in the many rivers, ponds and lakes.
White man came to Vermont in the early 1600's, when in 1609, the French explorer
Samuel de Champlain sailed into what is now known as Lake Champlain. It was
then, in the summer of 1609, when Vermont was first dubbed "Verde Mont,"
French for "Green Mountains." Like a good explorer would, Champlain
claimed this land in the name of France, who eventually swapped Vermont to the
British. In 1763, England was granted the land now known as Vermont via the
Treaty of Paris. That Treaty ended the French and Indian war. Meanwhile, back
in the new World, the land was claimed by both New Hampshire and New York. Vermont
patriot Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys put an end to that and by 1777
Vermont achieved independence.
Vermont remained an independent republic until 1791 when it became the 14th
member of the United States.
The Capitol of Vermont is Montpelier, with a population of under 10,000 people
