Connecticut

In 1614, Dutch navigator Adriaen Block was the first European to sail the Connecticut River , and by 1633, Connecticut 's European settlers had founded the riverside towns of Hartford , Windsor , and Wethersfield . Connecticut played a vital role in the American war for independence, serving as the major supplier to colonial forces. The state's capital city, Hartford , is the country's insurance capital and home to about 40 major insurance companies . The American insurance industry was born in Hartford in 1810--largely to protect important Connecticut River shipping interests.
Connecticut offers visitors nearly a dozen different regions to explore. Elsewhere along the state's Long Island Sound shoreline and along the Connecticut River , West coast Connecticut car transport crews usually enjoy the wonderful scenery, steam-train rides, beaches, and even a castle.
New Haven is home to historic Yale University , and Coastal Fairfield County , a New York City appendage, offers museums, a zoo, and historic mansions and lighthouses to explore. Connecticut 's Housatonic Valley and Litchfield Hills regions in the western part of the state treat visitors to a look at the early days of railroads, wine tasting at local vineyards, fabulous outdoor-recreational opportunities and some of the state's best-loved inns. Connecticut 's "Quiet Corner," in the northeast wing of the state, also offers charm on its own from antiquing to gemstones.
