VERMONT: THE GREEN MOUNTAIN STATEA natural wonderland nestled in the northeast corner of New England, Vermont is a place where rural traditions thrive alongside progressive thinking and civic involvement. Famed for its lush scenery, rolling mountains, dairy farms and maple sugar houses, Vermont is also home to some of the best-educated and most independent-minded citizens in the country. With an abundance of open space, a tradition of independence and a strong sense of community, Vermont remains a wonderful place to live and work. Originally inhabited by Abenaki, Algonqian and Iriqouis tribes, the land that now comprises Vermont was claimed by France and fortified on Lake Champlain in 1666. British forces attempted to take the fort four times between 1755 and 1758, finally defeating the French with 12,000 troops under Sir Jeffrey Amherst in 1759. Britain's claim to the area was secured by the Treaty of Paris in 1763, though ownership remained a source of dispute between the colonies of Massachusetts, New York, and New Hampshire. On January 18, 1777, representatives of the New Hampshire land grants convened in Westminster and declared the independence of the Vermont Republic. A constitution was drafted at Windsor Tavern on July 4th, notable as the first written constitution in North America to abolish slavery. Windsor Tavern has since been preserved as the Old Constitution House and is maintained as a state historical site. The Vermont Republic remained a sovereign, self-governing entity over the next fourteen years, finally joining the Union as the Fourteenth State in 1791. After the end Civil War, Vermont experienced significant economic and population growth, with the expansion of railroads drawing both residents and vacationers to the area. Over the course of the 20th century, Vermont emerged as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the northeast, with a number of internationally known ski resorts opening across the state alongside restaurants, shops, historical sites, museums, golf courses and boutique hotels. Despite the significant expansion of Vermont's tourist economy, residents and state government have made a concerted effort to preserve its rural communities and way of life. A tradition of local pride and independent thinking perseveres to this day, and the beautiful state of Vermont remains a world unto itself.
