Hartford County, Connecticut
Hartford County sits in the heart of Connecticut, with the capital city as its crown jewel. The Connecticut River cuts through, giving Hartford its “Insurance Capital” mojo.
But step outside the city, and you’re in classic New England. Think tobacco fields and apple orchards. You’ve got your pick of universities here, from UConn to Trinity College.
The Mark Twain House keeps literary history alive. Both corporate headquarters and family farms are here. It’s Connecticut in a nutshell, a little bit of everything, all packed into one county.
