Vermont Insurance QuotesCompare Insurance Rates for Vermont and Save!The only New England state with no coastline on the Atlantic Ocean, Vermont is tucked in between New York to the west and New Hampshire to the east, a border defined by the Connecticut River. Along the northwestern border with New York and the Canadian province of Quebec sits Lake Champlain, the 6th largest body of freshwater in the U.S. The Green Mountains runs north and south through the state and define much of its geography. It is from this mountain range that Vermont gets its name (Green Mountains in French is Verts Monts). A largely mountainous state of pristine lakes, clean fresh water streams and untouched wilderness, some 77% of Vermont is comprised of forestland, along with large areas of meadow and swampy wetlands. The turn of the leaves in autumn is perhaps the most striking natural feature in the state, with bright red and gold hues on the sugar maple trees stretched across hundreds of miles of rolling landscape. Originally claimed by France in the 17th century, the first European settlement was Fort Sainte Anne in 1666. The first British settlement was Fort Dummer in 1724. Vermont the became much a battle ground between the two European powers, as they sought to position themselves strategically in the New World. There were military engagements in Vermont throughout the French and Indian War, and in 1759 Fort St. Frédéric was captured by the British. France's loss in the war gave control over to the British. On January 18th, 1777, the independent Vermont Republic was proclaimed. Later that same year, the British army invaded Vermont and the early Republic collapsed. The Battle of Bennington (August 16th, 1777) was a major turning point in the American Revolutionary War and served as a catalyst for French involvement and aid to the American revolutionaries. After the war, Vermont remained a sovereign entity for 14 years, until becoming the 14th state to join the Union on March 4th 1791. If you're in the market for Vermont insurance, we have good
