Connecticut's capital city is Hartford.  Other major cities found on the Connecticut map include Bridgeport, New Haven, and Stamford.  In 2005, the population of Connecticut was estimated at 3,500,701, which is about 724.5 people per square mile.  Connecticut is one of the most suburbanized states in the United States.  The state's primary interstate highways include I-84, I-91, and I-95.  I-91 traverses Connecticut from north to south while I-95 runs from northeast to southwest along the state's southern coastline.

Connecticut Topography and Attractions
The name Connecticut is derived from the Mohegan word Quinnehtukqut, which means "long river place" or "beside the long tidal river".  The Connecticut River, New England's longest waterway, separates the eastern and western highlands.  Mystic Seaport, the state's most noted tourist attraction, was an important shipyard during its 18th and 19th century heyday.  Each year, thousands of visitors tour its restored buildings and ships.  For more Connecticut travel and tourism information, visit the official Connecticut tourism site and Connecticut Atlas.
