The Connecticut colony was founded by English Puritan settlers rather than Dutch traders. However, the Dutch had established a presence in the region through the Dutch West India Company, particularly in New Amsterdam (modern-day New York). The English settlers, including notable figures like Thomas Hooker, left Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630s to establish Connecticut, seeking greater religious and political freedom. Thus, while Dutch traders influenced the area, the colony itself was primarily founded by English colonists.
