Connecticut Information:
Connecticut is located in the northeast region of New England and is one of the original thirteen colonies that seceded from Britain. It is known as the Constitution State, in commemoration of Connecticut’s adoption of the Fundamental Orders (colonial constitution) in 1639. Later, a plan introduced by delegates from Connecticut established the current form of the United States Congress, which includes an upper and lower house.
Connecticut has historically been an industrial state with textiles, silverware,
sewing machines, and clocks among its manufactures. It was also known for its military

Connecticut has the highest per capita income and median household income in the country. This is largely a result of the vibrant financial sector, which is the largest contributor of revenue to Connecticut’s economy. Much of the financial sector’s success is due to a cluster of insurance companies located in Hartford, as well as an influx of hedge funds following a 1991 tax reform that made Connecticut more competitive than any other state. The headquarters for these funds reside in the Gold Coast region which is located in the southwest corner of the state.
