Why National Connecticut Day?

In the New England region, Connecticut is the southernmost state in the United States. According to the census of 2010, it has been recorded as the state with the highest per-capita income, the second-highest level of human development after Massachusetts and is surrounded by Massachusetts, Long Island South, New York and Rhode Island from north, south, west and east, respectively. The most popular city in Connecticut is Bridgeport, whereas the heart of the town lies in its capital, Hartford. The name of the city came from the Connecticut River. 

However, a long and exciting story lies behind the name Connecticut, which is derived from the various anglicized spellings quononoquett (Conanicut), which translates as the long tidal river.

Since Connecticut became the fifth state that voted to ratify the Constitution on January 9, 1788, it has made many significant contributions to the country and the world. May it be the land, river or sky, Connecticut has contributed in many ways that have helped shape the world now.
