What dessert is Connecticut known for?

Connecticut is famous for the first hamburger,

One day in the year 1900 a man dashed into a small New Haven luncheonette and asked for a quick meal that he could eat on the run. Louis Lassen, the establishment's owner, hurriedly sandwiched a broiled beef patty between two slices of bread and sent the customer on his way, so the story goes, with America's first hamburger.

That place is Loius Lunch.

Another famous spice in the Nutmeg. That's why we are the Nutmeg state.

What do you call someone from Connecticut?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Officially, a Connecticut resident is called a Connecticuter. People from Connecticut are most often called Nutmeggers, if a demonym is called for.

They are more likely to call themselves by the more regional Yankee, or even New Englanders, as so many are transplants from surrounding states. For example, in the 1960s and 1970s there was a large amount of immigration from Maine.

Connecticutians has a small following, indicated by its inclusion in the Merriam-Webster online open dictionary.

When was Connecticut annexed into the US?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Connecticut was not annexed to the United States.

This is a definitional issue. Annexation requires a larger complete entity passing a law or edict to absorb a smaller outside territorial entity. Connecticut was one of the original thirteen colonies/states and therefore was responsible for the creation of the United States. Since Connecticut created the United States (along with the other twelve colonies/states) it cannot be annexed by the United States.

The proper choice of words (and the answers) are either:

"When did Connecticut accept the Articles of Confederation and therefore joined the first form of the United States?" -- February 12, 1778 (It was the fifth of the thirteen colonies, since they were colonies at that point)

"When did Connecticut ratify the Constitution and therefore joined the United States as it now existed?" -- January 9, 1788 (It was the fifth of the thirteen states, since they were states at that point)

It is worth noting that it being the "fifth" both times is purely incidental.
