Vermont, U.S. state in New England, United States.
Vermont spans across the Green Mountains with dense forests, fertile valleys, and numerous lakes, including Lake Champlain along its western border.
The territory established independence as the Vermont Republic in 1777 before joining the United States as the fourteenth state in 1791.
Vermont maintains agricultural traditions through its numerous dairy farms, cheese producers, and maple syrup operations that contribute to local food production.
The state capital Montpelier houses government offices while Burlington, the largest city, provides educational facilities through the University of Vermont.
Vermont produces half of the maple syrup in the United States, with sugar maple trees scattered throughout its mountainous landscape.
