Connecticut - The Constitution State
The New England state of Connecticut has an area of
14,357 kmē and is the third smallest state in the United
States. The surname Constituion State was passed by law in
1959 and refers to the constitution of 1638, the oldest in
the world when the state was still a colony.
Connecticut was formed in 1639 from the 3 settlements of
Windsor, Wethersfield and Hartford. In 1776 Connecticut
declared independence from Britain and in 1788 Connecticut
became the 5th state in the United States. Slavery ended in
Connecticut in 1848. The name Connecticut originally comes
from the Algonquin (Quinetucket) language and was derived
from it. Connecticut is located in the northeastern United
States and is bordered in northern Massachusetts, east by
Rhode Island, south by Long Island Sound and west by New
York.
Connecticut's geography
Despite its small size, the Connecticut landscape is very
varied. In the northwest, the landscape is criss-crossed by
hills. Around the Appalachian Mountains there is the highest
elevation with the 725 m high Mount Frissel. The landscape
flattens to the south to Long Island Sound. Over half of the
state is forested, interspersed with lakes, rivers, and
waterfalls that make up more than 10 percent of the
country's area. There are beautiful sandy beaches on the
Atlantic coast.
Fauna and Flora
Connecticut has a diverse flora and fauna. Although
densely populated, you will find black bears, wolves, elk,
foxes, lynxes, weasels, coyotes and muskrat among others.
The diverse bird life is represented here, for example, with
the golden eagle, many owl species, the hen harrier and the
bald eagle. On the Atlantic coast, fulmares, shearwaters and
puffins dominate the bird life. The share of forest in
Connecticut, like in the other New England states, is quite
large and is determined by deciduous and mixed and also
coniferous forests. In autumn, the forests lure with their
colors. This period of splendor of colors is also called
Indian Summer. Connecticut is home to more than 100 tree
species. The maple trees, which are represented here with
over 10 different species, are particularly striking. Other
dominant tree species are beech, oak, elm and spruce.
Various types of fern are found in the forests, some of them
reaching a height of 1.50 m. There are also over 100
wildflower species in the state's natural landscapes.
The climate
In Connecticut, the Atlantic has a temperate continental
climate, with warm summers between 25 and 30 degrees. The
winters are moderately cold, around 0 degrees and partly
snowy. Due to the influence of the Atlantic, it is quite
changeable and windy with precipitation over 1,000 mm a
year. The most rain falls in autumn. However, there can be a
lot of precipitation in the form of snow, particularly in
winter, to the northwest, where the level rises.
Activities and sights
The varied natural landscape is very suitable for
exploring on foot or by bike. Particularly interesting for
mountain bikers are Bennett's Pond and the Hemlock Hills,
two connected nature reserves. There is a lot to discover in
this varied piece of nature, among other things the paths
lead through forests, meadows, over mountain ridges and
through marshes. Particularly impressive are the large
blocks of rock and the numerous cliffs, which give the
landscape a primeval character. In Ridgefield, south of the
Hemlock Hills, you can rent bikes.
Rafting tours over rapids with large inner tubes are
offered on the Farmington River. The exciting water ride
goes over a distance of 4 kilometers.
In addition to nature, Connecticut is also home to a
number of interesting, historic buildings that are
definitely worth a look. For example, the longest wooden
bridge in the state, the West Cornwall Covered Bridge in
Litchfield or the Beincke Rare Book and Manuscript Library
at Yale, one of the largest libraries in the world. Here you
can marvel at the original Gutenberg Bible. No less
interesting is the gallery at Yale University in New Haven
with over a hundred thousand exhibits from all over the
world, the various museums and collections on the grounds of
Harvard University in Cambridge and the First Presbyterian
Church in Stamford. Don't miss the Mark Twain House in
Hartford, a Victorian mansion with original furnishings, or
the Lymann Allyn Art Museum, where you can admire
contemporary and impressionist American art. Not to forget
the Shore Line Trolley Tram Museum in East Haven, the
largest of its kind.
A visit to the ghost town of New Haven is a special
tourist feature. On the ghost tour, which lasts 90 minutes,
you can explore cursed places and learn interesting things
about sightings of mysterious apparitions. You can also
search for ghosts by Jimi Hendrix or Noah Webster to haunt
the place.
