Vermont became the 14th state in the Union on February 18, 1791. The capital of the state shifted between towns east and west of the Green Mountains each time the General Assembly met. Travel across the mountains was hard in the early years. This idea of sharing political power was called the "mountain rule." Many of the first meetings were held in Windsor, Bennington, Rutland, and other towns. In 1805 the General Assembly chose Montpelier as the new seat of the state government. The new building in Montpelier was finished in 1808 and Montpelier was made the permanent capital of Vermont.
