∙ 9y agoConnecticut has been inhabited for over 10,000 years, so the name of the first person to live in Connecticut is not known. The first people to live in Connecticut were the Paleo-Indians. The first European to explore the area was Adrien Block in 1614, and the first English colonists to settle there moved there from Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1632.
