Discover Hartford
Several Algonquian peoples lived in and around Hartford, among them the Podunk east of the Connecticut River, the Tunxis in present West Hartford and Farmington, and the Saukiog in Hartford itself. The Dutch explorer Adriaen Block sailed up the Connecticut in 1614, and in 1623 Dutch traders from New Amsterdam returned to build a trading post on the south bank of the Park River. They called it Fort Hoop, the House of Hope, and its name survives in Dutch Point and Huyshope Avenue. In 1633 Jacob Van Curler bought the land around the fort from the Pequot chief. A main purpose of the post was to control the flow of wampum, the currency of the region's fur trade.
More about Hartford
The English began arriving in 1636. The Puritan pastors Thomas Hooker and Samuel Stone and Governor John Haynes led 100 settlers and 130 head of cattle from Newtown, now Cambridge, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and settled just north of the Dutch fort. The settlement, first called Newtown, was renamed Hartford in 1637 for Stone's hometown of Hertford, England. The small Dutch outpost, with a few families and a few dozen soldiers, was soon surrounded by English settlers. In 1650 Peter Stuyvesant met English representatives to set a permanent boundary between the colonies, more than 50 miles west of Hartford, and the Dutch had abandoned the fort by 1654.
