Connecticut Summary
Connecticut is a state located in the northeastern region of the United States. It is bordered by Rhode Island to the east, Massachusetts to the north, New York to the west, and Long Island Sound to the south. Connecticut is the third smallest state by area, and the fourth most densely populated state in the country.
History
The area that is now Connecticut was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Mohegan, Pequot, and Niantic. The first European settlers arrived in the area in the 1630s, and the first permanent settlement was established in 1633. The first English settlers were Puritans from Massachusetts, and they established the Connecticut Colony in 1636. The colony was one of the original 13 colonies that formed the United States.
In 1776, Connecticut was one of the first states to ratify the United States Constitution. During the American Revolution, Connecticut was a major supplier of arms and ammunition to the Continental Army. After the war, Connecticut became an important center of manufacturing and trade.
