  • The first major war between the native peoples and Europeans, the Pequot War, took place in Connecticut from 1634-1638.
  • The Connecticut Colony was actually three separate colonies (New Haven, the (Connecticut) River colony, and the Saybrook Colony) which later merged.
  • King Phillip's War was fought from 1675-76, leaving devastating destruction of life and property in it's wake., serving to bond the colonials together as a unique American identity distinct from the English.
  • For a while, Connecticut actually claimed an area all the way to the Mississippi River (skipping over lower New York), and even at one point in time all the way to the Pacific!
  • Due to conflicting land grants from the crown, boundary disputes continued well into post-revolutionary times. Some minor sticking points continue to surface even today.
