Historic Map of America, 1791

The area of modern Vermont was claimed by Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York, and, in 1777, declared itself to be an independent republic.  Massachusetts relinquished its claim in 1781, New Hampshire in 1782, and New York in 1790, leaving Vermont as an undisputedly independent, sovereign state.

On March 4, 1791, the independent state of Vermont was admitted to the union by congress, and became the fourteenth state of the United States.
