The Mattabesec Indians, also known as the Mattabesett, were a Native American tribe that inhabited the area around present-day Branford, Connecticut. They were part of the Pequot Confederacy and played a significant role in the region's early history, particularly during European colonization. The tribe faced significant challenges due to conflicts and diseases brought by settlers, leading to a decline in their population and influence. Today, their legacy is remembered as part of Connecticut's rich indigenous history.
