They were all named by french explorers.
The French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle named the region Louisiana to honor France's King Louis XIV in 1682.

Since Colonel Jacob Davis named Calais for the French port city of the same name, it is likely that he named Montpelier for the French town of Montpellier, for there was a general enthusiasm for things French as a result of France's aid during the American Revolution.

French explorer Samuel de Champlain claimed the area of what is now Lake Champlain, giving to the mountains the appellation of les Verts Monts (the Green Mountains).
