Both New York and New Hampshire claimed the area that is now Vermont. Ethan Allan formed the Green Mountain Boys to defend the New Hampshire land grants against the New York land grants. Vermont entered the United States as the 14th state (after originally declaring it was an independent republic). It was not an original colony. In 1790, New York allowed Vermont to enter the Union for $30,000 to settle the land grant mess. Vermont became a state in 1791.
