Maine was a part of Massachusetts until 1820, and Vermont was part of New York until 1777. Vermont was an independent country for a few years.
Why aren't Maine and Vermont counted in the thirteen original colonies?
Because they were considered too close to the French and Indian war in what we now call Canada.

The Republic of Vermont controlled Vermont.
The thirteen original colonies were Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia. The 14th state was Vermont.
I don't know anything about the first flag, but I know that the first U. S. flag had thirteen stars and thirteen stripes. After the U. S. annexed the Republic of Vermont, Kentucky separated from Virginia, and both were admitted as new states, the U. S. adopted a flag with fifteen stars and fifteen stripes. Congress then passed a law to keep the number of stripes at thirteen in honor of the original thirteen colonies/ states.
Vermont
The first state admitted to the Union after the original 13 was Vermont. It was admitted on March 4, 1791. Rhode Island was the 13th.
they aren't counted as colonies because they did not exist back when they made colonies

Vermont was the only Northeastern state that was not one of the thirteen colonies. It was unsettled territory between New York and New Hampshire and could have become part of Canada. However, it became the first state that was not one of the thirteen colonies.

No colony. The Green Mountain Boys were from Vermont which was recognized by the British crown as a part of the New York colony. They were a militia formed to protect Vermont from the territorial ambitions of New York and to keep Vermont separate from New York. Vermont later declared itself an independent republic, and after the thirteen colonies became the first thirteen states, Vermont joined the Union as the fourteenth state, but it was never recognized by the British as a colony, and the Vermonters did not recognize themselves as New Yorkers.

In 1777 all thirteen colonies were fighting for a revolutionary war with England but they were also busy in stopping Vermont becoming a state. At the same time continental congress was not ready to let the Vermont to become apart of United States and as well as New york also not ready to join Vermont with United States, former colonies agreed. Later,after 14 year,New York agreed to join Vermont with it, but for that Vermont need to pay $30,000 to New york, though it sounds big money at that time, Vermont had paid that amount and joined as a state with United States.
