Vermont Legal Marketing

On March 4, 1791, Vermont became the first state in the new Union after ratification of the Constitution. Its 9,609 square miles make it only the second largest New England state, just behind Maine, and its population – just 621,760 in 2009 – is one of the lowest in the U.S.

Vermont’s capital of Montpelier has just over 8,000 residents. It is the smallest state capital in the U.S. and the only state capital without a McDonald’s. Vermont’s largest city is Burlington, with just over 38,000 inhabitants.
