You are Hartford, Connecticut. Hartford, located at the end of the
navigable portion of the Connecticut River, was settled in 1623 as a
Dutch trading post. In 1636, a group of English settlers left
Massachusetts and formed a colony here. The settlers made peace with
the local Algonquin Indians, who called the town Saukiog, and renamed
it after Hertford, England. Shaped by the social and economic forces
which gave rise to industrial growth in America, Hartford grew and
prospered as successive waves of immigrants came to work, build and
settle in the community. This ethnic and cultural diversity continues
to be a prominent part of Hartford's heritage and one of the city's
greatest assets. Hartford also became an important cultural and
communications center. The nations oldest public art museum, the
Wadsworth Athenaeum, was founded in 1844. Supported by prominent
benefactors like J.P. Morgan, the museum grew to become one of the top
ten art museums in the country. Authors like Mark Twain and Harriet
Beecher Stowe were drawn to the area, because, as Twain said "of all
the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see, this is the chief."
You have landed yourself in a more laid back city because you are not
fond of typical city crowds and city folk, but would probably be
happier in a smaller town. You also don't mind the change in seasons,
even though you prefer more sunshine and warm weather to the opposite.
You probably enjoy a good film or art show every now and then, but more
often than not, you just like to kick back and enjoy the outdoors and
nature. You could stand to be a bit more open-minded because it would
make you all the more well-rounded. Hartford fits you alright, although
you'd probably do well in the countryside, too, far from the hustle,
bustle, and stress of the city. |
