[a]
) is a
state
in the
New England
region of the northeastern
United States
. It borders the other U.S. states of
Massachusetts
to the south,
New Hampshire
to the east,
New York
to the west, and the
Canadian province
of
Quebec
to the north.
Lake Champlain
forms half of Vermont's western border with the state of New York and the
Green Mountains
run north–south the length of the state.
Vermont is the
second least populous
of the U.S. states, with roughly 40,000 more residents than
Wyoming
. The capital is
Montpelier
, the
least populous state capital
in the U.S. The most populous municipality,
Burlington
, is the
least populous city
in the U.S. to be the
most populous within a state
. As of 2015, Vermont continued to be the leading producer of
maple syrup
in the U.S.
[7]
It was ranked as the safest state in the country in January 2016.

For thousands of years inhabited by indigenous peoples, including the two historic
Native American
tribes (the
Algonquian
-speaking
Abenaki
and the
Mohawk
), much of the territory that is now Vermont was claimed by the
French colony
of
New France
.
France
ceded the territory to
Great Britain
after being defeated in 1763 in the
Seven Years' War
. For many years, the nearby
colonies
, especially the provinces of
New Hampshire
and
New York
, disputed control of the area (then called the
New Hampshire Grants
). Settlers who held land titles granted by New York were opposed by the
Green Mountain Boys
militia, which supported the many settlers whose claims were based on grants from New Hampshire.
Ultimately, those settlers prevailed in creating an independent state, the
Vermont Republic
. Founded in 1777 during the
Revolutionary War
, the republic lasted for 14 years. Aside from the
Thirteen Colonies
, Vermont is one of only four U.S. states that were previously
sovereign states
(along with
California
,
Hawaii
, and
Texas
). In 1791 Vermont
joined
the U.S. as the 14th state—the first to be
admitted to the union
after the original 13 colonies. While still an independent republic, Vermont was the first of the future United States to
abolish adult slavery
.

[10]
It played an important geographic role in the
Underground Railroad
,
[11]
helping refugee
American slaves
escape to freedom in
Canada
.
