    Hartford, Connecticut

    Hartford, the capital of Connecticut, is the second largest city in the state and the 45th largest city in the country. One of Hartford’s nicknames is the “Insurance Capital of the World” due to the fact that many of the country’s largest insurance companies have chosen the area for their headquarters.

    Hartford’s riverfront area has been under renovation in hopes of attracting new businesses and other developments to the area. The creation of a new convention center, a hotel and a science center has made this goal easier to achieve.

    The city is home to the oldest public art museum in the country, the Wadsworth Athenaeum, along with the oldest public park and the oldest continuously published newspaper, the Hartford Courant. With a highly developed art scene, both ethnic and cultural diversity and a highly educated workforce, the city appeals to many.
