What about some of my friends who's parents live in Vermont but were born in NH because that was the closest hospital? Vermonters? Yea or nea?
I always joke with my cousin that she is not a Vermont 'cause she was born in NH. Ha.

You HAVE to be born in Vermont. However, since that was the closest hospital, I think there might be a waiver for 'special circumstances'.

Totally unimportant. One people One Aim One Destiny. One love to all people - no matter where you are from. The more diversity, the better! We need it for a healthy society and to move towards our destiny of breaking down these man-made boundaries.

Yeah, that's cool, ItalVT - and you'll get no argument from me. I raised the question in its simplest form with the hopes that it could provide some interesting conversation. Nothing more. Nothing scientific - although it has been sort of a sticky wicket that most of us have experienced at one time or another in our everyday existence here. BTW, welcome to City Data!

Have to trace your family back to the 1700's here to be a real Vermonter, you know...

1800 was about the first influx. 1790 had Stowe with no census figures and Waterbury with about 90 residents. By the 1800 census, Waterbury had over 400 residents.

Even before the waves of illnesses that the Europeans brought, the max. Abenaki and other native population likely never reached more than 6,000 in the entire state. Montreal, the Finger Lakes of New York, and coastal regions were much more populated.

It's amazing how quickly the state populated after about 1800. By the Civil War it was really too populated.

The population of Lewis and Warner's grant has stayed pretty steady though. A nice zero.

True, I was talking to a friend whose family settled in Lamoille County in the 1800s and I mentioned that my daughter is a real Vermonter b/c she was born here and he just raised his eyebrows at me. Maybe my great-great-great grandchildren will be considered real Vermonters.
