康涅狄格州取名于横穿其内的康涅狄格河。这里最早的原著民是印第安人，康涅狄格是印第安语，意为大河。尽管在1614年，荷兰人首先到达里，并建立了新荷兰聚居地。但其后到达的英国人却建起了更大规模的定居点。英国人打败印第安人后，成为这块土地的新主人。1788年，批准宪法，成为美国原有13州中的第5个州。

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.     

 

康州地理面积仅超过，但却拥有丰富的地貌资源。其西北部的LITCHFIELD HILLS， 群山绵延，牧场广布；在东部的纽黑文地区，却是一派滨海景象。中部的康州河谷区为平原，那里森林覆盖着山峦溪谷。在田野草坡间，星布着众多有着17，18世纪房舍风格的宁静小镇。

 

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.
