The Northeast Kingdom of Vermont is the area bounded by the Connecticut River on the east, the Canadian border on the north, the central ridge of the Green Mountains on the west, and by the southern border of Caledonia County. The NEK is composed of the counties of Caledonia, Orleans and Essex. The area is rural and mountainous; it has a population of approximately 50,000. It has an economy based on tourism, skiing, forest products, farming and dairy products, education, furniture and high-tech firms. Major towns include St. Johnsbury, Lyndonville, Barton, Newport, Derby, and Island Pond. The quality of life is considered high, with small towns and villages where one knows one's neighbors, where beautiful views and quiet streets are the rule.

The Northeast Kingdom is a term used to describe the northeast corner of the U.S. state of Vermont, comprising Essex, Orleans and Caledonia Counties. In Vermont, the written term "NEK" is often used. The term is attributed to the late George D. Aiken, former Governor of Vermont (1937-1941) and a U.S. Senator at the time of a 1949 speech, the first recorded use of the term. The area is often referred to by Vermonters simply as "The Kingdom."
