Neighborhoods in the Greater Hartford area.

Founded by Dutch traders in 1635, what started as a fort called the “House of Hope” is now a land of growth and opportunity for an enormously diverse population. 

Hartford is the home of such internationally known treasures as the Wadsworth Atheneum (the nation’s first museum), as well as attractions like the Mark Twain House, the Hartford Stage, the Bushnell Memorial, and the Artists Collective.  But ever since traders used the Connecticut River to conduct business, Hartford has been abuzz with insurance and financial transactions.  Companies such as Aetna, The Hartford Insurance Group, Phoenix, and St. Paul-Travelers have their roots here--- as does industrial giants like United Technologies. 

But our biggest pride is our people--- a melting pot of the world that’s reflected in our restaurants, business districts, and entertainment.
