As the state capitol of Connecticut, Hartford has an incredibly historic past and a promising future. Founded in 1635, Hartford was one of the first cities established in the United States, and is home to the oldest public art museum and oldest continuously published newspaper.

Located in the center of Connecticut, Hartford was an economic powerhouse during the Industrial Revolution and post-Civil War era. Like most manufacturing hubs, its status declined in the 20th Century. Despite some challenges, with multiple Fortune 500 insurance companies residing in the city, including Aetna, The Hartford, and Cigna, Hartford has managed to stay in the corporate spotlight.

Hartford was also home to Mark Twain who wrote in 1868, “Of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see, this is the chief.” Many of his famous stories were written at the Mark Twain House, located on Asylum Hill, which is now a museum chronicling his life in Hartford.

Right next door, explore the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center. It was here that the author lived and penned Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Learn all about her life in Hartford, as well as connect today’s social issues with those of the 19th Century.

The Hartford School District has 56 primary and secondary schools. Students also have the option to attend schools in nearby suburban districts as part of the state’s Open Choice program.

Hartford is also home to incredible eats and drinks.
