Later in Vermont’s history, other English speaking settlers begain migrating to the reagion and the name ended up being changed to Ver (green) Mont (mountain) or Vermont. In paying tribute to the French explorere, both Lake Champlain and Vermont – The Green Mountain State, held names given by and for Samuel De Champlain.
