Vermont is an English form of the name that French explorer Samuel de Champlain gave to Vermont's Green Mountains on his 1647 map. He called them "Verd Mont," which means "green mountain."

Vermont became a state on March 4, 1791. It was the 14th state to be admitted to the Union.

People who live in or come from Vermont are called "Vermonters."
