Subsequently, the Provincial Governor of <a href="/wiki/Province_of_New_Hampshire" title="Province of New Hampshire">New Hampshire</a> had provided land grants west of the <a href="/wiki/Connecticut_River" title="Connecticut River">Connecticut River</a> in land that was also claimed by the <a href="/wiki/Province_of_New_York" title="Province of New York">Province of New York</a>. Strife was created by New York attempting to enforce its legitimate claim to government on settlers who had in good faith purchased land titles from New Hampshire. The King upon the advice of the Privy Council decreed a settlement that was not followed by the Governor and Legislature of New York. </p><p>Sandwiched between New York and New Hampshire, the area was constantly in dispute and claimed by both. New York claimed it was included in its 1664 grant from <a href="/wiki/Charles_II_of_England" title="Charles II of England">Charles II</a>, but had made no effort to settle it. New Hampshire, desiring to expand its frontier to the west, simply expropriated the land and proceeded to grant 131 charters in the territory, which then became known as the <a href="/wiki/New_Hampshire_Grants" title="New Hampshire Grants">New Hampshire Grants</a>. New York retaliated by declaring the Grants null and void and telling the settlers they would have to repurchase the land from New York (at a much higher price) if they wished to stay. The New Hampshire Grantees countered by organizing the "<a href="/wiki/Green_Mountain_Boys" title="Green Mountain Boys">Green Mountain Boys</a>", an informal alliance of civilian soldiers who successfully prevented the settlers from being evicted. </p><p>To protect their investments in the land and improvements, and the health and security of their families, farms and towns, the people of the New Hampshire Grants formed Committees of Safety to coordinate protection of their society. These committees predated those of the 13 colonies formed to protect themselves from the crown by eight years, yet had precedents in similar organizations during the <a href="/wiki/French_and_Indian_War" title="French and Indian War">French and Indian War</a>. </p><p>Born in <a href="/wiki/Connecticut" title="Connecticut">Connecticut</a>, Cephas Kent moved himself and his family to Dorset in 1773. He was a <a href="/wiki/Deacon" title="Deacon">deacon</a> in a local church. He owned and operated a small tavern, destined to play a part in Vermont's history. By 1775, the land control controversy had reached the point that the Grantees decided to take official action, and they held a general convention in Cephas Kent's tavern. Matters discussed at that meeting were not limited to their internal affairs but also included the general cause of American independence. The <a href="/wiki/Continental_Congress" title="Continental Congress">Continental Congress</a> had voted to pay the Green Mountain Boys for their services and had asked that a regiment be formed in the New Hampshire Grants. The Grantees wanted to join in the general rebellion but not as a part of New Hampshire and certainly not as a part of New York. So they petitioned the Continental Congress to intervene in their behalf against New York and permit the Grantees to serve independently in the war of rebellion. </p><p>The Grantees met three more times during the course of the next year, always in Cephas Kent's tavern, and on June 25, 1776, voted "that application be made to the inhabitants of said Grants to form the same into a separate district." Later that day the convention bound itself "to defend by arms the United American States against the hostile attempts of the British fleet and armies until the present unhappy controversy between the two countries shall be settled." This was the first official step toward Vermont's independence. </p><p>Thus, the future state of Vermont was underway. The town of <a href="/wiki/Windsor,_Vermont" title="Windsor, Vermont">Windsor</a> claims to be the birthplace of Vermont, and, indeed, it was there, on July 2, 1777, that the constitution was adopted and the name chosen. But it was in Dorset at Cephas Kent's tavern that the idea of Vermont was born; and, as <a href="/wiki/Zephine_Humphrey_Fahnestock" class="mw-redirect" title="Zephine Humphrey Fahnestock">Zephine Humphrey</a> put it, "The idea is the dynamic reality and the fact its shadow." In 1790, New York finally relinquished her claims and, on February 18, 1791, Congress admitted Vermont as the fourteenth state. In 1912 the Vermont Society of Colonial Dames erected an historical marker at the site of the Cephas Kent Inn in Dorset. </p><p>The agreements made at Cephas Kent's tavern are commonly known as the Dorset Accords. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dorset,_Vermont&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Geography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Dorset is located along the northern border of Bennington County, with <a href="/wiki/Rutland_County,_Vermont" title="Rutland County, Vermont">Rutland County</a> on the north.
