1609年，法国探险家山普伦(Samuel
de Champlain)发现了一个湖，遂用自己的名字命名，而他所到达的地区就是现今的佛蒙特州。佛蒙特一字源自于两个法文字vert
(绿)及mont
(山)，这说明了佛蒙特的绰号「绿山之州」(Green
Mountain State)。独立战争时，艾伦(Ethan
Allen)及绿山男孩队(Green
Mountain Boys)奋力与入侵自己家乡的英军抗战。佛蒙特是美国东北部新英格兰(New
England)地区的六州之一州，它于1791年添加联邦并成为美国第14州。某部分佛蒙特州的主要产业是乳品业和观光业。身为景色如画的其中一州，佛蒙特每年都涌入数以百万的游客，前来观看秋天的枫叶转红及冬天白雪暟暟的山峰。它的州花是红花苜宿，而它的州树是糖枫树。佛蒙特枫糖浆是该州最爱欢迎的产品之一。
In 1609, French explorer Samuel de Champlain came upon a large lake in the area we know today as Vermont and named it after himself. The state's name comes from two French words vert (green) and mont (mountain), which explains Vermont's nickname, the "Green Mountain State." Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys defended their homeland from the British during the Revolutionary War. Vermont is one of the six New England states and became the 14th state in 1791. Some of Vermont's major industries are dairy farming and tourism. One of the most picturesque states, Vermont has millions of visitors each year who come to see the leaves turn colors in the fall and the snow-covered mountains in the winter. The state flower is the red clover and the tree is the sugar maple. Vermont maple syrup is one of the state's most popular products.
