CONNECTICUT, from
Quonoktacut, "a river whose water is driven in waves by tides or
winds",
or "land on the long tidal
river".
*Connecticut began as three distinct settlements, referred to at
the time as 'Colonies' or 'Plantations'. These ventures gradually
were finally combined under a single royal charter in 1662. Thomas
Hooker and his congregation left Massachusetts because of
religious differences and established Connecticut in 1639. It is
also known, that Robert Rich and eleven other men were given the
paper from their King, to claim any land which they chose as
Connecticut.
