Vermont is a state in the New England region of the United States, located in the northeastern part of the country. The state ranks 43rd in land area at 9,250 square miles and has a population of 608,827, one of the smallest of the 50 states. The only New England state with no coastline along the Atlantic Ocean, Vermont is notable for the Green Mountains in the west and Lake Champlain in the northwest. It is bordered by Massachusetts to the south, New Hampshire to the east, New York to the west, and the Canadian province of Quebec to the north.

Originally inhabited by Native American tribes (Iroquois, Algonquian and Abenaki), the territory that is now Vermont was claimed by France but became a British possession after France's defeat in the French and Indian War. For many years, rightful control of the area was disputed by the surrounding colonies. Settlers who held land titles granted by the Province of New Hampshire, through their Green Mountain Boys militia, eventually prevailed. Vermont became the 14th state to join the United States, following a 14-year period during and after the Revolutionary War as the independent Republic of Vermont. Vermont is one of only four U.S. states or parts of states to have once been an independent nation, the other three being Hawaii, Texas, and the Florida Parishes of Louisiana.

Famous for its scenery, dairy products and maple syrup (it is the leading producer of maple syrup in the United States[1]), Vermont has a long history of independent political thinking (see Ethan Allen, Matthew Lyon, George Aiken, Jim Jeffords and Bernie Sanders.). The state capital is Montpelier, and the largest city is Burlington.
