Where in the United States is Vermont? Location map of the State of Vermont in the US.
 
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.

Vermont occupies an area of 24,905 km² (9,616 sq mi) [2], making it the 45th-largest state, compared it is about one quarter the size of South Korea or Iceland. Compared with other US states, Vermont is about the size of New Jersey, but it would fit into Texas 28 times.

Colonization is based on natural features, like fertile soil, and watercourses, which provide access to transportation during the settlement period. English settlers, migrating from Boston and central Massachusetts, were using numerous river corridors, especially the Connecticut River, to access the fertile southeastern lands in Vermont.[3]

Vermont's hilly to mountainous landscape is quite forested, giving the state its nickname the Green Mountain State.
