Few Facts and Figures about Connecticut

Before I start speaking about trucking companies in Connecticut I would like to provide you with few facts and figures about Connecticut as a State.

Now, Connecticut is the southernmost state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. Its capital city is Hartford, and its most populous city is Bridgeport.

Furthermore, Connecticut is the third smallest state by area. It is taking an area of 5,543 sq miters (14,357 km2) to be exact! Moreover,  it is the 29th most populous and the fourth most densely populated of the 50 United States.

To add to this, the word/name “Connecticut” originated with the Mohegan word quonehtacut, meaning “place of a long tidal river”. They have few nicknames including: “The Constitution State”, “The Nutmeg State,” the “Land of Steady Habits” and the “Provisions State”.

In addition, the Connecticut River, Thames River, and ports along the Long Island Sound have given Connecticut a strong maritime tradition which still exists. Interesting to know is that besides the fact that Connecticut has a long maritime history and a reputation based on that history the state has no direct oceanfront.

Moreover, the state has as well a long history of hosting financial services, including insurance companies and hedge funds.

Let me say that back in the days Connecticut was a center of gun manufacturing; four gun-manufacturing firms are still operating in the state employing over 2,000 people.
