Here is a brief introduction to the state of Vermont.

Capital City: Montpelier
Nicknames: Green Mountain State  

Population over 600.000 residents

State’s Flag: The state flag, adopted in 1923, displays the Vermont coat of arms. It shows a pine tree, a cow, three sheaves of grain, and mountains in the background.

          Of all the 50 states, perhaps Vermont summons the clearest set of images: an Arcadian pasture dotted with cows, a white-steepled church, the fiery hues of autumnal foliage, skiers carving wide arcs on a snowy mountainside. These are not hazy flashbacks in some bucolic dream but real elements of Vermont’s character.

          Although Vermont is close to the great metropolitan corridor of the eastern seaboard, geography has had its say in the stubborn survival of the state’s rural character. Vermont is the only New England state without a seacoast; consequently, it never experienced the urban concentration that accompanies maritime trade. Much of its terrain is locked within the wooded fastness of the Green Mountains, which run along the entire length of Vermont and defy all but the most hardscrabble attempts at cultivation.

          But history, too, has nudged Vermont along its quirky path. The area was first explored by the French navigator Samuel de Champlain, who in 1609 ventured south from Quebec into the 125-mile-long lake that now bears his name and that today forms much of Vermont’s border with New York State. The French presence never really extended beyond a series of 17^th- and early18th-century forts on Lake Champlain, but because of the threat posed by the French and their Indian allies, English settlement in what is now Vermont was almost nonexistent prior to the end of the French and Indian War in 1763.

          When the Revolution began, Ethan Allen and his men turned their attention toward fighting for independence, capturing Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain in New York. The most important Revolutionary War battle associated with Vermont, however, was the 1777 Battle of Bennington-the Vermont town that was the target of British troops. This engagement was a sharp setback for the British in the days preceding their decisive defeat at Saratoga. Beginning in 1777, Vermont functioned as an independent republic under its own constitution, electing its own officials and even minting its own coins. Fourteen years later, it joined the Union as the 14^th state. New York, still aggrieved over its perceived territorial loss, was paid $30,000 in compensation.

          In 1791 Vermont becomes 14^th state. In 1823 Champlain Canal links Vermont to New York City. In 1881 Chester A. Arthur of Vermont becomes U.S. president and in 1923 Calvin Coolidge, another Vermonter, becomes president. In 1934 First ski tow in the U.S. is built in Woodstock.  In 1985 Madeleine M. Kunin becomes state’s first woman governor. In 1990 Vermont elects a socialist, Bernard Sanders, to Congress.
