    Background Information on the Northeast Kingdom...
    "Northeast Kingdom" is a term used affectionately throughout Vermont and beyond when referring to the corner of the state against the Canadian Border and the upper Connecticut River - the counties of Caledonia, Essex and Orleans. Visitors often comment that "Vermont is what America was." No where is that saying more true than the Northeast Kingdom, the purest example of a quintessential New England experience ... beauty and history wrapped in a gorgeous package.

    Visitors from all over the world visit the Northeast Kingdom to view our magnificent landscape, tour our historic downtowns and dip their toes in our cool, clean lakes. The "Northeast Kingdom" offers many lakes, mountains and quaint villages that are easily accessible to major market centers, interstates and state highways.

    Not all retirees are looking south to retire. One of the region's largest towns, St. Johnsbury, was named a top retirement spot in a national publication. Citing the lower costs and environment, the report indicated the Northeast Kingdom looks very enticing to retirees.

    The Northeast Kingdom offers a diverse economy built around manufacturing; the retail, wholesale and service industries; banking; real estate; insurance; government employment (county, municipal and educational); and tourism and agriculture (dairy, poultry, sheep and maple syrup).
