About Vermont
Vermont is one of the six states in the region known as New England. The State of Vermont is situated in the eastern US mainland. It borders Canada (Québec province) to the north.
The Connecticut River defines its border with New Hampshire in the east; Lake Champlain separates Vermont from New York state in the northwest. A straight line separates Vermont from Massachusetts in the south.
New England was the site of early European settlement. The area of Vermont became part of the original territory of the United States and was included in the Charter of New England in 1620. The region was later included in grants creating New York in 1664 and 1674. On 18 January 1777, Vermont declared itself an independent republic. It was the first state in North America to abolish slavery.
On 18 February 1791, Vermont joined the Union as its 14th state.
