background

Vermont, founded in 1777, is the fourteenth state in America and is the oldest state that was not part of the thirteen colonies that constituted the United States with the 1787 constitution. Vermont joined this union four years later as the 14th state.

The name 'Vermont' probably derives from (ancient) French verts monts "Green mountains". However, it is not - as is sometimes assumed - to be traced back to French settlers (who only existed in large numbers in Maine), but rather on the sympathy of the American founding generation with France, which supported the independence movement of the United States. This Francophilia is also expressed in the name of the state capital, Montpelier.
