As one of America's oldest cities, Hartford is steeped in a deep and riveting past. Founded back in 1635, the city originally served as a bustling centre for tribes such as the Podunks and Wangunks before hitting the radars of Dutch and English explorers. The city soon blossomed as a pivotal seat of Hartford County and became home to a bevy of historical landmarks.

In time, Hartford solidified its historical significance with the consistently published Hartford Courant newspaper, top-class educational institutions like the American School for the Deaf, and connections to notable names like Harriet Beecher Stowe. Furthermore, post the American Civil War, it thrived as the richest city in the United States, earning it the nickname "Insurance Capital of the World" owing to an influx of insurance companies.

Yet, Hartford's history isn't without its dark chapters. The city faced significant challenges, including the devastating flood of 1909 and a heartbreaking fire in 1944. Despite obstacles, Hartford's spirit sparked numerous urban renewal projects, transforming it into a vibrant core of the Greater Hartford metropolitan area, attracting tourists from around the globe.
