How did Vermont get its name?

The name means "green mountains". le Vermont is a village of some 20 homes southwest of Strasbourg, France. Vermont is grammatically correct, and it is singular. It does mean Green Mountain, if you check back a few centuries in old french. In modern french, of course, one could say it is "grammatically incorrect." But this is a very old village. I believe, that, when it was a French territory it received that name. The words Vert= Green and Mont= Mountain in French therefore making the name of the state "the Green Mountains"Also it is known for its large forests. Vermont got its name historically from the French.It was originally Vert-mont witch means "green mountain" that's why its nick name is "The green mountains" and their state song is "These green mountains".


What is the history of Vermont?

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.
