The Governor
Aiken Room
The ultimate in
comfort and
elegance.
Vermont State Senator George Aiken on a visit to the region in 1949 said, "This is such beautiful country up here- it should be called the Northeast Kingdom." The former Vermont Governor is given credit for popularizing the name. Historical accounts say that Gov. Aiken was speaking before a development group at the Darling Inn on Depot Street in Lyndonville when he first used the phrase in a public forum.
The coining of the name came at a good time for a region struggling to find an identity and to market itself to the rest of the world in an attempt to bring tourists and businesses to this historically poorest section of the state. According to Lola Aiken, the late senator’s widow, he was so moved by the rugged, yet beautiful, environment of the Northeast Kingdom that he adopted the phrase.
