Vermont is the only landlocked state in New England. The Green Mountains run up the middle and split the Lake Champlain valley from the Connecticut River valley, and the state name is a French rendering of those mountains. Lake Champlain is the sixth-largest body of fresh water in the United States.
Fourteen Years as a Republic
Settlers holding New Hampshire land grants clashed with New York over the same ground, and Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys drove off New York claimants. Representatives declared independence on January 15, 1777, called the new state New Connecticut for six months, then adopted the name Vermont on June 2.
- July 1777
- The first constitution, finished at the Windsor Tavern, was the first written constitution in North America to ban adult slavery.
- August 16, 1777
- The Battle of Bennington destroyed a Hessian column and is paired with Saratoga as a turning point of the Revolution.
- 1785 to 1788
- The republic minted its own coins and ran its own postal service.
- March 4, 1791
- Vermont joined the Union as the first state after the original thirteen, once New York consented.
Milk, Maple, Marble and Microchips
Vermont has the smallest total economic output of any state, and its products are unusually specific. Dairy is still the top source of farm income: the state had 568 dairy farms in December 2021, and two-thirds of all milk produced in New England in 2019 came from Vermont. In 2022 Vermont made 2,550,000 gallons of maple syrup, 50.7 percent of the national supply.
The Rock of Ages quarry in Barre is the largest dimension stone granite quarry in the country, and Vermont is the leading slate producer. GlobalFoundries makes semiconductors at Essex Junction. Ben and Jerry's, Cabot, King Arthur, Burton Snowboards and the Vermont Teddy Bear Company trade on the Vermont name, and in-state power generation is 99.9 percent renewable, the highest share of any state.
Why the Website Matters More Here
Vermont banned billboards along its roads in 1968, one of only four states to do so. With no roadside signs to rent, a business relies more on its storefront, word of mouth and the web. Roughly a quarter of tourism income arrives in autumn, and the ski resorts, from Killington and Stowe to Jay Peak and Mad River Glen, draw winter visitors who plan online.
The festival calendar mirrors the farms: the Vermont Maple Festival, the Vermont Dairy Festival at Enosburg Falls and the Strolling of the Heifers parade in Brattleboro. Burlington runs the Vermont International Film Festival each October, and the Bread and Puppet Theatre performs at Glover in the Northeast Kingdom.

What a Vermont Website Costs
A sugarhouse that ships syrup, a Stowe inn and a Burlington software firm need different builds. Four questions set the scope:
- Pages. How many pages, and who writes and photographs them.
- Sales and bookings. Whether the site takes orders, room bookings or event tickets.
- Connections. Which outside tools it must talk to, such as a shipping or reservation system.
- Seasons. Who updates foliage, sugaring and ski-season details each year.
AppWT posts Essentials at $2,997, Professional at $6,997, E-Commerce at $7,997, Commerce Plus at $14,997 and Enterprise from $24,997 on its pricing page.
Foliage Season and AI Search
A couple planning a foliage weekend may ask an assistant for an inn near Woodstock or a sugarhouse that gives tours. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews repeat the businesses whose facts they can read. AppWT adds schema, an llms.txt file, open crawler rules and answer-style copy, with AIVO retainers from $2,497/mo. The AIVO page has the details.
