1665 - Union of New Haven Colony and Connecticut Colony is completed with capitals in both Hartford and New Haven.
In 1665, a significant moment in early American colonial history occurred with the union of the New Haven Colony and the Connecticut Colony. This merger was the culmination of efforts to consolidate and strengthen the English presence in the New England region. The two colonies, which had been founded independently in the 1630s, had developed distinct identities and governance structures. The New Haven Colony, known for its strict Puritanism and theocratic government, and the Connecticut Colony, which had a more moderate approach, found common ground in the face of external pressures and the desire for a more unified defense against Native American tribes and potential Dutch encroachment.
The union established dual capitals in Hartford and New Haven, reflecting a compromise to maintain a sense of local governance and appease the residents of both former colonies. This dual-capital arrangement was an unusual but practical solution to the challenge of merging two distinct political... Read MORE...

1687 - King James revoked charter, took colonists' legal rights; Charter Oak incident occurred
The Charter Oak incident took place in 1687 in Hartford, Connecticut, during a period of political upheaval in the American colonies. The English Crown, under King James II, sought to consolidate control over the colonies by revoking their charters and imposing direct royal governance. Connecticut was one of the colonies resisting this move. Sir Edmund Andros, appointed as the governor of the Dominion of New England, was sent to enforce the new order and confiscate the Connecticut Charter, a document granting the colony a degree of self-governance.
As the legend goes, during a meeting with Andros on the night of October 31, 1687, the Connecticut colonists, determined to protect their autonomy, took a daring step. In the midst of heated negotiations, the lights in the meeting room were suddenly extinguished, and the charter disappeared. It was later revealed that Captain Joseph Wadsworth had spirited the document away and hidden it inside the hollow of a massive white oak tree,... Read MORE...

The first American tin was made in Connecticut in 1770.
In 1770, Connecticut made a significant mark on American industrial history by producing the first tin in the United States. This pioneering effort was led by the colonial blacksmith Isaac Meigs in the town of East Guilford, which is now Madison. Prior to this achievement, tinware was primarily imported from Europe, making it a costly commodity for American colonists. Meigs' innovation not only reduced dependence on foreign imports but also laid the groundwork for a burgeoning domestic tinware industry.

1806 - Noah Webster published first edition of his dictionary
In 1806, Noah Webster published the first edition of his dictionary, titled "A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language." This publication marked a significant milestone in the standardization and development of American English. Webster, an American lexicographer, grammarian, and language reformer, was driven by a desire to create a distinct American identity through language. His dictionary introduced American spellings and usage that differed from British English, promoting a sense of national unity and cultural independence in the post-Revolutionary War United States.
Webster's dictionary was notable not only for its linguistic reforms but also for its comprehensiveness and scholarly approach. It included numerous words that were specific to American culture and geography, reflecting the unique experiences and innovations of the young nation.
