Note on the Colonial Vermont Area

During the colonial period after 1763, control of the area called the New Hampshire Grants, in what would ultimately become the state of Vermont, was disputed between the Provinces of New York and New Hampshire. Settlers with grants issued by New York didn’t acknowledge settlers with grants issued by New Hampshire. In 1777 settlers with New Hampshire Grants formed a sovereign state called the Vermont Republic which lasted until Vermont was finally admitted to the Union as the state of Vermont on March 4, 1791.
