About Connecticut
As the 3rd smallest state in America (only Rhode Island and Delaware are smaller), Connecticut is the southernmost state of New England. A region that includes six states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont). It is therefore not surprising that a large part of this state, due to its colonial past, feels European. In the north of the state you will find many Victorian villas, country houses and English influences. In South Connecticut, on the Atlantic Ocean, you’ll find cities like Stamford, Bridgeport, and New Haven, all three of which are considered suburbs of New York City. It was the Dutch who originally built settlements in 1614, but were soon conquered by the English. The prestigious Yale University with its campus in New Haven, much of this city. As one of the few states, there are no National Parks in Connecticut.
