City and
Destination Information
The following was taken from
the website for the city of Hartford. You can find additional information by
going to their website at
http://www.hartford.gov.
Welcome to Hartford! New
England’s Rising Star is one of America’s original cities. Founded by Dutch
traders in the early 1600’s and established by the Reverend Thomas Hooker in
1636--- what started as a fort called the “House of Hope” is now a land of
growth and opportunity for an enormously diverse population. I encourage you to
enjoy our rich blend of history, culture, and architectural gems--- with a
progressive attitude towards business, education, and neighborhood economic
development.
Hartford is the home of such
internationally known treasures as the Wadsworth Atheneum (the nation’s first
public museum), as well as attractions like the Mark Twain House, the Hartford
Stage, the Bushnell Memorial, and the Artists Collective. But ever since
traders used the Connecticut River to conduct business, Hartford has been abuzz
with insurance and financial transactions. Companies such as Aetna, The
Hartford Insurance Group, Phoenix, and St. Paul-Travelers have their roots
here--- as does industrial giants like United Technologies.
But our biggest pride is our
people--- a melting pot of the world that’s reflected in our restaurants,
business districts, and entertainment. I hope you find this website helpful for
gaining access to the information you need about our great city. Enjoy!
