Connecticut's official nickname, adopted in 1959, is "The Constitution State," based on its colonial constitution of 1638-39.Unofficially (but popularly) Connecticut is also known as "The Nutmeg State".The nutmeg connection to Connecticut may come from its sailors returning from voyages with nutmeg (which in the 18th and 19th centuries was a very valuable spice in New England). It is also said to come from Connecticut Yankee peddlers who would sell small carved nobs of wood shaped to look like nutmeg to the local Native Americans and other unsuspecting customers.Since my family settled the town today known as Cheshire in the mid-1600s, I know whereof I speak.Walter Brooks, Editor, http://CapeCodTODAY.com

they call them nutmeggers that's why one of its nicknames is the nutmeg state
People from Connecticut are called Nutmeggers because nutmeg is our state spice. And I suppose because Connecticutter is hard to say.
'Nutmeg' spice is the finely grated seed of the Nutmeg tree.
Apple is the state fruit and i remember it by there are 2 N's in Connecticut and 2 P's in apple. For some reason that's how i remember it!
Nutmeg was not made by anyone, it grows naturally. Nutmeg is several species of trees in genus Myristica. The most important commercial species is Myristica fragrans, an evergreen tree indigenous to the Banda Islands in the Moluccas of Indonesia, or Spice Islands. The nutmeg tree is important for two spices derived from the fruit, nutmeg and mace.
