About Connecticut

Connecticut, one of the original thirteen colonies, serves as the gateway to the historic New England region of America.  Hartford serves as the state capital and is home to over 120,000 of CT's 3,405,565 residents.  Other major cities include Bridgeport, New Haven, New London, Norwich, Stamford, Torrington and Waterbury.

As one New England's smallest states, CT enjoys close proximity to urban centers, which include Albany, Boston, Providence and New York City.  The majority of residents travel via the highway system and experience a relatively short commute time.  The exception to the short commute time is I-95, which runs north to south through the center of Connecticut.  Interstate-95, also known as the Connecticut Turnpike, is one of the most congested highways in the nation.

Connecticut, U.S.A. truly embodies the essence of New England.  With its vibrant communities, delightful New England architecture and wealth of career opportunities, Connecticut remains an enviable place to live.
