Connecticut

The Connecticut River touches four states, but only gives
its name to one. Settlers from Boston established
Hartford on the riverbank in 1635, ultimately creating
the first fully articulated constitution in the American
colonies. Three years later, more Bostonians pitched
their tents on Long Island Sound and created New
Haven, where a small school moved in 1716 and
blossomed into Yale University. Harnessing the river
for power, Connecticut inventors proved some of
the country’s most ingenious entrepreneurs. But
Connecticut is as beautiful as it is industrious, as
American artists demonstrated a century ago
when they painted the upland woods and the
State Capitol,
Hartford green and gold marshes of Long Island Sound.
