253 sterilizations were performed in Vermont making it the 25th highest in the nation. About two thirds of the total sterilizations were performed on women. Over 80% of the sterilized were deemed "mentally deficient."
Period during which sterilizations occurred
The majority of the sterilizations were performed in the years 1931-1941, where about 200 people were sterilized. According to Julius Paul, the last documented sterilization occurred in 1957 (Paul, p. 494).
