Information about Vaud Canton

 

Vaud canton in Switzerland with the capital of Lausanne, borders France in the west and is roughly between Lake Geneva, Lake Neuchatel, the Jura Mountains and the Bernese Alps. The population is French-speaking and mainly Protestant.

Originally occupied by Celts, the region was conquered by the Romans in 58 BC. Under Roman rule many towns achieved great prosperity, particularly Avenches. Vaud passed to the Franks in the 6th century and was under the rule of Transjurane Burgundy from 888 to 1032 AD. It subsequently was subjected in part to the prince-bishops of Lausanne and to the counts of Savoy. In 1536, it was conquered by Bern and forced to accept Reformation. In 1798, having revolted against its Bernese rulers under the leadership of Frederic Cesar de La Harpe, it became the canton of Leman in the Helvetic Republic. In 1803, it joined the Swiss Confederation under its present name.

Cereals, tobacco and other crops are grown. Wine is produced in the large, fertile region at the centre of the canton near Lake Geneva. There are watchmaking towns in the west; other towns are known for their chocolate, metal products and cigars. Montreux and Vevey are among its numerous resorts.
