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.
