Vermont is a tiny state hidden in the northeast corner of
the United States. Originally populated by various
indigenous peoples of the Algonquin, Iroquois, and Abenaki
nations, the land now known as Vermont was first seen by
European eyes in 1609, when the French explorer Samuel de
Champlain sailed the lake that now bears his name. The
French must have paid their visits during the warmer months,
for when they gazed upon the mountains that form the spine
of the state, they named them Les verts monts, 17th century
French for the Green Mountains. The name of state capital
"Montpelier" also comes from the French Montpelier which
means the "naked mount" (i.e the mount without trees). As
happens with language, Les verts mont became Verts Mont
became Vermont. And as happened with explorers, Champlain
claimed all he saw in the name of France
The State of 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.
The Vermont region was explored and claimed for France by
Samuel de Champlain in 1609 when 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.
The first English settlers moved into the area in 1724 and
built Fort Dummer on the site of present-day Brattleboro.
England gained control of the area in 1763 after the French
and Indian Wars.
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. First organized
to drive settlers from New York out of Vermont, the Green
Mountain Boys, led by Ethan Allen, won fame by capturing
Fort Ticonderoga from the British on May 10, 1775, in the
early days of the Revolutionary War. In 1777, Vermont became
the first state to outlaw slavery. By writing a constitution
to outlaw slavery, Vermont allowed runaway slaves to stay in
Vermont and allowed no one to own slaves in their state.The
U.S. didn't abolish slavery everywhere until aboout 100
years after Vermont outlawed slavery in the state.
In fact, Vermont remained an independent republic until
1791, at which point it joined the United States as that
fledgling nation's fourteenth member. Nonetheless, to this
day Vermonters remain fiercely independent. Indeed, in 1996,
Vermont's sole Congressional seat is held by the House of
Representative's lone independent, Rep. Bernard Sanders.
In 1815, Emma Willard founded higher education for women in
Middlebury, Vermont.Until this point women had no or barely
any opportunities to get an education beyond grammar school.
Women weren't looked on as equals at that time because men
were dominant. If Emma Willard hadn't founded the school,
women wouldn't have opportunities to get well paying jobs to
support themselves or families.
The Capitol of Vermont is Montpelier, with a population of
under 10,000 people Montpelier is one of America's smallest
Capitol Cities.
Memories of recent Vermont history are embodied by the
Vermont WPA Life Histories Project.
Despite its rural nature, Vermont has a rich history in
science and technology. High on a hilltop in southern
Vermont, backed against a southern shield of tall spruce
trees and facing north to Mount Ascutney is the home of the
Springfield Telescope Makers, the oldest group of amateurs
in the country devoted to building and using astronomical
telescopes and other scientific instruments. Located on the
east side of the road which leads from Brandon to the
village of Forestdale, Vermont stands a two story house
known as the Orange Smalley-Thomas Davenport Shop. It was
probably built around 1830 or earlier as a workshop on the
farm of Dr. Adoniram J. Smalley. Here in 1834, Orange
Alfonso Smalley, experimented with electromagnetism. This
shop is now known as the birthplace of the electric motor.
The prosperity fostered by the railroad lasted well into the
late 19th and early 20th centuries. The State's industries,
businesses, agriculture, and population thrived. Two Vermont
natives, Chester A. Arthur and Calvin Coolidge, served as
President during this period. But changes in the
20th-century economy, that began early in the century,
affected the viability of Vermont within an increasingly
competitive and global market.
Vermont has seen many changes during the last half of the
20th century. Tourists have discovered the State's natural
beauty, ski slopes, and small town character. While tourism
in Vermont has soared, other aspects of Vermont's economy,
such as farming, milling and quarrying have experienced a
decline.
