Vermonters

Maple state residents

Vermonters are residents or natives of Vermont, the northeastern U.S. state known for maple syrup, skiing, and progressive politics.

The term carries connotations of rural self-reliance, environmental consciousness, and New England reserve: Vermonters tend to keep to themselves through the long winters.
