ORIGIN of VERMONT (Etymology)
Samuel de Champlain claimed he area around what is now Lake Champlain, giving the name vert mont (Green Mountain) to the region he found, on a 1647 map.
Evidence suggests that this name came into use among English settlers before it morphed to "Vermont" ca. 1760.
In 1777, Thomas Young introduced the name in writing with a broadside "To the Inhabitants of Vermont, a Free and Independent State."
