Connecticut was settled in the early 17th century by English Puritans seeking religious freedom and economic opportunities. The first permanent settlement was established in 1636 by Thomas Hooker and his followers, who moved from the Massachusetts Bay Colony to found Hartford. This migration was driven by the desire for more autonomy and better farmland. The colony eventually grew through the establishment of additional towns, leading to the formation of the Fundamental Orders in 1638, which are considered one of the first written constitutions in the Western tradition.
