Featured Article: Connecticut
Connecticut is one of the Unites States, nicknamed "The Constitution State.". It is located in the New England region of the northeastern United States of America. Connecticut has a long history dating from early colonial times. Its Fundamental Orders of 1639 are considered to be the first written constitution in the Americas. Connecticut was one of the thirteen original colonies and in 1788 became the fifth state to join the fledgling United States. It is also the home of Yale University, founded in 1701. Connecticut's temperate climate and long coastline on Long Island Sound have given the state a deep maritime tradition. Modern Connecticut is known for its wealth, initially based on industry.
