康涅狄格州取名於橫穿其內的康涅狄格河。這裏最早的原著民是印第安人，康涅狄格是印第安語，意為大河。盡管在1614年，荷蘭人首先到達裏，並建立了新荷蘭聚居地。但其後到達的英國人卻建起了更大規模的定居點。英國人打敗印第安人後，成為這塊土地的新主人。1788年，批準憲法，成為美國原有13州中的第5個州。

Connecticut state is named for Connecticut river which approximately bisects the state . The early residents here are native Indians, Connecticut is Indian, meaning Big river. 1614, Dutchmen got here and built their settlement. Later, in 1630s, English settlers moved here and built bigger settlements. Those English settlers won the Native Indians and took possession of this land. In 1788, by US constitution, Connecticut became the No.5 state of the original 13 states.     

 

康州地理麵積僅超過，但卻擁有豐富的地貌資源。其西北部的LITCHFIELD HILLS， 群山綿延，牧場廣布；在東部的紐黑文地區，卻是一派濱海景象。中部的康州河穀區為平原，那裏森林覆蓋著山巒溪穀。在田野草坡間，星布著眾多有著17，18世紀房舍風格的寧靜小鎮。

 

Connecticut is the 3^rd smallest state by area. Even though, CT has abundant landscape. Around Litchfield Hills in northeast, mountains stretch for miles, farms spread out widely. In eastern New Haven area, you can see sharply contrast coastal scenes. Connecticut valley is in the center of the state where mountains, streams and valleys are covered in forests, numerous of quiet small towns with 17th and 18th-century colonial style houses dotting among hills, grass, pastures, brooks and woods.
