The Vermont region was explored and claimed for France by Samuel de Champlain
in 1609, and the first French settlement was established at Fort Ste. Anne in
1666. The first English settlers moved into the area in 1724 and built Fort Dummer
on the site of present-day Brattleboro. England gained
control of the area in 1763 after the French and Indian Wars
First organized to drive settlers from New York out of Vermont, the Green Mountain Boys,
led by Ethan Allen, won fame by capturing Fort Ticonderoga from the British on
May 10, 1775, in the early days of the Revolutionary War. In 1777 Vermont adopted
its first constitution, abolishing slavery and providing for universal male suffrage
without property qualifications.
