The state seal can be found modified again on the blue cloth of the state flag.

The seal with the single jaw goes back to a seal from 1777 to 1791, when Vermont was an independent state for a few years ( Vermont Republic ).

The current seal dates back to 1821 and symbolizes the " Green Mountain State ", the " Green Mountain State ", an allusion to the original French name " Les Verts Monts " "( Green Mountains ), which as much as the Greens mountains means.

The name " Vermont " and the English motto of the state are on a banner :

" Freedom and Unity "
