About Hartford
Hartford is the capital city of the state of Connecticut and is located in the central part of the state. It is known as the "Insurance Capital of the World" as many insurance companies have their headquarters or regional offices in the city. Hartford has a rich history, being one of the oldest cities in the United States, founded in 1635. It played a significant role in the American Revolution and was a major center of trade and commerce in the 19th century.
Freight transportation has always been crucial to the development of Hartford. In the early days, the Connecticut River served as a major transportation route, allowing goods to be transported to and from the city. The river was a vital link for industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and trade. Today, Hartford is still a hub for freight transportation, with major highways such as Interstate 84 and Interstate 91 passing through the city. The city is also served by Bradley International Airport, which handles both passenger and cargo flights, further enhancing its transportation infrastructure.
