Vermont became a state of the Union, on January 18, 1777. For six months it was known as New Connecticut until June 2, 1977, when the 72 delegates met again to change the name to Vermont.
Vermont is part of the New England area and is surrounded by Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and the Canadian province of Quebec.
The area that later became Vermont was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, Abenaki and Iroquois.
