'''Hartford''' adalah [[ibu kota]] [[negara bagian]] [[Connecticut]] Amerika Serikat, di [[Kabupaten Hartford, Connecticut|Kabupaten Hartford]]. Kota ini terletak di [[Sungai Connecticut]], dekat pusat negara bagian ini. Menurut sensus 2000, kota ini berpenduduk 121.578, tetapi Sensus [[1 Juli]] [[2002]] memperkirakan penduduk kota ini berjumlah 124.558. Ini adalah kota terbesar kedua di negara bagian ini, setelah [[Bridgeport, Connecticut|Bridgeport]]. Hartford Raya juga termasuk wilayah metropolitan terbesar ke-44 di seluruh AS (perkiraan [[sensus]] [[2004]]) dengan populasi sebesar 1.184.564.

Para pemukim [[Inggris]] pertama tiba pada [[1635]]. [[Thomas Hooker]] memimpin 100 pemukim dengan 130 ekor sapi dalam sebuah perjalanan dari Newtown (kini [[Cambridge, Massachusetts|Cambridge]]) di [[Koloni Teluk Massachusetts]] dan memulai pemukiman mereka di sebelah utara benteng Belanda. Pemukiman ini mulanya dinamai Newtown, tetapi kemudian diubah menjadi Hartford pada [[1637]] untuk mengenang kota Inggris [[Hertford, Inggris|Hertford]].
 
=== Transportasi umum ===
[[image:IMG_1175_(2)_....jpg|thumb|right|250px|Distrik Bisnis Utama.]]
[[Connecticut Transit]] dimiliki oleh [[Departemen Transportasi Connecticut Department]]. CTTRANSIT mengoperasikan pelayanan bus lokal dan ulang-alik di dalam kota dan daerah sekitarnya. Pelayanan taksi tersedia dari stasiun kereta api di 1 Union Place atau dengan meneleponnya dari lokasi manapun di wilayah ini.
 
<!--The fledgling colony along the Connecticut River had issues with the authority with which to govern since it was outside of the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Bay Company's charter. Therefore, [[Thomas Hooker]] wrote the [[Fundamental Orders of Connecticut]], a document investing the authority to govern with the people, instead of with a higher power. Hooker stated [[May 31]], [[1638]]:
 
:''The foundation of authority is laid, firstly, in the free consent of the people.''
 
Some historians believe Hooker's concepts of self-rule were the forerunners of the United States Constitution. The Orders were ratified on [[January 14]], [[1639]].
 
On [[December 15]], [[1814]], the [[Hartford Convention]] was called to order in Hartford. Delegations from the five New England states, ([[Maine]] was still part of [[Massachusetts]] at that time) were sent to Hartford to discuss New England's possible [[secession]] from the United States.
 
During the early [[1800s]], the Hartford area was a center of [[abolitionist]] activity. The most famous abolitionist family was the Beechers. The Reverend [[Lyman Beecher]] was an important Congregational minister known for his anti-slavery sermons. His daughter, [[Harriet Beecher Stowe]], wrote the famous ''[[Uncle Tom's Cabin]]'', while her brother, the Reverend [[Henry Ward Beecher]], was a noted clergyman who vehemently opposed slavery and supported the temperance movement and women's suffrage. Beecher Stowe's sister, [[Isabella Beecher Hooker]], was a leading member of the [[feminism|women's rights movement]].
 
In [[1860]], Hartford was the site of the first "Wide Awakes," abolitionist supporters of [[Abraham Lincoln]]. These supporters organized torch-light parades that were both political and social events, often including fireworks and music, in celebration of Lincoln's visit to the city. This type of event caught on and eventually became a staple of mid to late-1800s campaigning.
 
In [[July 6]], [[1944]], Hartford was the scene of one of the worst fire disasters in the history of the United States. The fire, which occurred at a performance of the [[Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus]], became known as the [[Hartford Circus Fire]].
 
After [[World War II]], many residents of [[Puerto Rico]] moved to Hartford and even today Puerto Rican flags can be found on cars and buildings all over the city. Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez was born in Puerto Rico and moved to Hartford in [[1969]], when he was 12 years old.
 
In [[1997]], the city lost its professional hockey franchise, the [[Hartford Whalers]], to [[Raleigh, North Carolina]] despite an increase in season ticket sales and an offer of a new arena from the state. Currently a developer from [[Newton]], MA who is also the city's largest property owner is working with the city to bring an NHL team back to Hartford and house them in a new largely publicly funded stadium.
 
Hartford experienced problems as the population shrank 11 percent during the [[1990s]]. Only [[Flint, Michigan]]; [[Gary, Indiana]]; [[St. Louis, Missouri|Saint Louis]] and [[Baltimore, Maryland|Baltimore]] experienced larger population losses during the decade. However, the population has increased since the 2000 Census.
 
In the last few years, Hartford has begun to generate renewed interest as many redevelopment projects have been completed, are currently in progress or planned across the city. These initiatives include both commercial and residential projects such as Adriaen's Landing, the Connecticut Center for Science and Exploration, an extensive system of riverfront trails and parks, Park Street and Parkville neighborhood improvements and significant downtown development. The historic Colt building and complex is also being renovated to National Park standards.

==Neighborhoods==
[[Image:Dscn3088 connecticut capitol.jpg|250px|right|thumb|The Connecticut State Capitol in downtown Hartford]]
===Central Business District/Downtown===
Downtown is Hartford's primary business district. Downtown is home to such corporations as St. Paul Travelers, The Hartford Steam Boiler, Phoenix Insurance, Prudential Retirement and United Technologies Corporation.
 
Downtown is also home to the Hartford City Hall, the Hartford Public Library, the Old State House, the [[Wadsworth Atheneum]], The Travelers Tower, [[Bushnell Park]], and the [[Connecticut State Capitol|State Capitol]] and Legislative Office Complex. Capital Community College and the Hartford Public Schools offices are also located along Main Street in the former G. Fox and Company Building. The newly renovated [[University of Connecticut School of Business]] is located at Constitution Plaza.
 
===Asylum Hill===
The Asylum Hill neighborhood was originally known as "Lords Hill." The Asylum Hill neighborhood is home to the Asylum Hill Congregational Church (organized in [[1864]]), The Trinity Episcopal Church, and Saint Joseph's Cathedral (dedicated [[1892]]).
 
There are also many insurance companies that were or are still located in the Asylum Hill area such as the Hartford Fire Insurance Company (now the Hartford Financial Services Group) and Rossia Insurance Company (now Northeastern Insurance Company). [[Aetna|AETNA]] Insurance Company still remains as a major fixture along Farmington Avenue. Also along Farmington Avenue are the homes of [[Mark Twain]] and [[Harriet Beecher Stowe]], which are now museums.
 
Coming soon to the Asylum Hill neighborhood is the Connecticut Culinary Institute which will move in the recently vacated Hastings Hotel and Conference Center next to AETNA
 
===West End===
The West End neighborhood, which runs from a little bit past the [[Mark Twain]] house to the [[West Hartford, Connecticut|West Hartford]] border, was mostly farmland until [[1870]]. During the [[1910s]], many two and three story homes were built, giving the area more of a suburban feel.
 
[http://www.epcentury.com/ Elizabeth Park] in the West End was created in [[1895]], when Charles N. Pond gave his estate to the Hartford Parks Commission which created the park and named it in honor of his wife. The park boasts a playground, softball field, and other recreational facilities in addition to views of the downtown skyline. It's the oldest municipal rose garden in the United States, and one of the largest.
 
The [[University of Connecticut School of Law]], [[Watkinson School]] and the [[Hartford Seminary]] are located in the West End. Part of Prospect Avenue boasts mansions including the Governor's Mansion. Mansions can also be found along Scarborough Street including the former residence of A. Everett Ausin (Director of [[Wadsworth Atheneum]] from [[1927]]-[[1944]]).
 
===Sheldon/Charter Oak===
The neighborhood is located just south of downtown with the [[Connecticut River]] and [[Interstate 91|I-91]] running at the eastern end of the neighborhood. The [[Charter Oak]] monument is located at the corner of Charter Oak Place, a historic street, and Charter Oak Avenue.
 
The area was home to the [[Colt's Manufacturing Company|Colts Firearm Factory]] which was started by [[Samuel Colt]], who invented the automatic revolver. Along with building a factory, Mr. Colt also made a village with houses, a library, and recreational activities so that his employees could be close to work. Colt's estate, Armsmear, was given to the city as Colt's Park after Mr. and Mrs. Colt's death. A developer is currently in the process of renovating the whole facility to create office space and apartments for completion in 2006/2007.
 
The Capewell Horsenail Company was also in the area. In [[1881]], [[George Capewell]] invented a machine to make horseshoe nails.
 
===North End===
The neighborhood is a conglomeration of formerly distinct neighborhoods that have been collapsed into a largely impoverished zone. Generally identified as consisting of the vast area north of Albany Avenue leading up to the Bloomfield and Windsor borders, the North End has been wracked by decades of policies such as redlining and racist city planning that transformed a once multi-cultural area of African-American, Jewish, and European immigrants into an underdeveloped zone of housing projects and slums that is nearly entirely African-American and poor. This began in the [[1950s]] with the construction of [[Interstate 84 (east)|I-84]], which cut off North End from the rest of the city, followed by a high concentration of government-financed housing projects that caused the flight of the working and middle class to the suburbs.
 
Although many of the housing projects have been demolished in [[1990s]] and [[2000s]], and were replaced with [[United States Department of Housing and Urban Development|HUD]] home constructions designed to increase the proportion of working families in the North End, the area still suffers from underdevelopment and crime. Many of the North End's parks, such as Keney Park, are considered among the city's most dangerous. The schools are among the most segregated and underperforming in the country, with populations of impoverished and African-American students extending into the 90th percentile. Mortality rates in the North End are comparable to those of the [[South Bronx]] in [[New York City]].
 
The North End is home to an active community of West Indian immigrants that provide the area with a cultural and artistic presence: the West Indian Social Club and Scott's Jamaican Bakery are two notable neighborhood institutions. The North End is also home to Weaver High School, which was also the alma mater of [[ER (TV series)|''ER'']] actor [[Eriq La Salle]].
 
===South End===
This neighborhood is home to the area of Franklin Avenue, known as Little Italy. Although many Italians have moved just over the border to [[Wethersfield, Connecticut|Wethersfield]], [[Newington, Connecticut|Newington]], and [[Rocky Hill, Connecticut|Rocky Hill]], there is still a major Italian presence in the city. There are numerous Italian bakeries along Franklin Avenue. In the past few decades, there has been [[white flight]] from the South End, with many Puerto Rican families moving into the neighborhood but nevertheless there are many local favorites (restaurants, bakeries and stores) that draw people back into the South End.
 
Another resident of Hartford's South End is the [[South Park Inn]] emergency shelter.
 
===South Green===
South Green is home to Barnard Park in honor of [[Henry Barnard]], whose home is located on Main Street. Congress Street is a historic district with many Greek Revival and Italianate homes. Hartford Hospital and the Connecticut Children's Medical Center are also located in South Green.
 
===South Meadows===
Located at the southeastern corner of the city, the area is home to many industrial and commercial businesses. The neighborhood is home to the Regional Market, a 32 acre (129,000 m²) facility with 185,000 of warehouse space. Brainard Field along [[Interstate 91|I-91]] serves small aircraft and offers flight instruction. The Hartford Electric Light Company which started in [[1921]] is still operational and owned by CT Light and Power. One of the Metropolitan District Water pollution control plants is located in the south meadows. Also, the Mid-Connecticut Resource Recovery Facility, which opened in [[1987]] and is on 57 acres (231,000 m²), is located in the area.
 
===North Meadows===
Located just north of downtown along the CT River and I-91 the North Meadows is a largely commercial and industrial area that is home to many of the area's car dealerships including dealers for Mercedes Benz, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Jaguar, Toyota and Mazda as well as a brand new CarMax dealership. The North Meadows is also the home of the CT Expo Center which features 88,000 square feet of exhibition space, the Dodge Music Center (formerly the Meadows Music Theater) which hosts hundreds of big name concerts each year and Riverside Park.
 
==Economy==
Greater Hartford is an international center of the [[insurance]] industry, with companies such as [[Aetna|AETNA]] and [[The Hartford]] based in the city. The area is also home to [[Colt Firearms]] and large corporations like [[United Technologies]] (the parent corporation for [[Pratt & Whitney]], [[Otis Elevator Company|Otis Elevator]], [[Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation|Sikorsky Aircraft]], [[Carrier Corporation]], [[Hamilton Sundstrand]], UTC Fire & Security and UTC Fuel Cells) and others.
 
==Education==
Hartford is the home of several institutions such as the [[Hartford Conservatory]] in the Asylum Hill neighborhood of Hartford, [[Hartt School of Music]] in [[West Hartford]], [[Trinity College (Connecticut)|Trinity College]] in Hartford, the [http://www.instituteofliving.org/ Institute of Living] in Hartford, [http://www.asd-1817.org/ The American School for the Deaf] in West Hartford, [http://ccc.commnet.edu/ Capital Community College] in Downtown Hartford, [[Hartford Seminary]] in the West End of Hartford, the [[University of Hartford]] in West Hartford, the [[University of Connecticut Law School]] in the West End of Hartford, and the [[University of Connecticut School of Business]] in Downtown Hartford, [[University of Connecticut]] in West Hartford and [[Saint Joseph's College]] in West Hartford. A branch campus for [[Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute]] is also located in Hartford.
 
In addition to institutions of higher education the Greater Hartford area is home to many well known private and parochial school including [[Watkinson School]] in Hartford, [[Kingswood-Oxford]] School in [[West Hartford]], [[Northwest Catholic High School]] in West Hartford, [[Renbrook School]] in West Hartford, [[Avon Old Farms School]] in [[Avon]], [[Westminster School]] in [[Simsbury]], [[Miss Porters School]] in [[Farmington]], [[Ethel Walker School]] in [[Simsbury]], [[The Masters School]] in [[Simsbury]], [[Loomis Chaffee School]] in Windsor and [[East Catholic High School]] in [[Manchester]].

Publicly funded parts of the project such as a new parking garage, new lighting and new streets have recently been completed and work will soon begin on the construction of new residential units which will be housed in tower type buildings plus retail and entertainment space which will include an [[ESPN Zone]]. On the back side of Front Street the historic [[Hartford Times Building]] is being converted into the home of administrative offices for the [[Wadsworth Atheneum]].
 
'''Hartford 21:'''Currently being constructed on the site of the [[Hartford Civic Center Mall]] the project includes the construction of a new 36 story tower which will be the tallest residential tower in [[New England]]. The building will house 262 luxury apartments. Being constructed attached to the tower is 90,000 square feet of office space (some of which has been leased already to the YMCA Downtown for a new gym) and 45,000 square feet of retail space all of which will be housed in a large block. The [[Veterans Memorial Coliseum]] at the [[Hartford Civic Center]] is still a part open and is part of the project. The Coliseum is still the home of the AHL [[Hartford Wolfpack]], the [[UConn]] Men's and Women's Basketball teams as well as hundreds of big name concerts and trade shows.
 
'''Trumbull on the Park:''' This is a brand new apartment community that recently opened along Bushnell Park and includes 88 luxury apartments that are housed in a new 11 story brick building that also features a parking garage and ground level retail space.

==Media==
The city is served by the daily ''[[Hartford Courant]]'' newspaper, which is the country's oldest continuously published newspaper, founded in [[1764]]. A weekly newspaper, the ''[[Hartford Advocate]]'', also serves Hartford and the surrounding area. As does the ''[http://www.ct-abc.org/theguardian.html The Hartford Guardian]'' (a city-wide, quarterly conservative newsmagazine) and ''[http://www.hartfordimc.org The Hartford Undercurrent]'' (an independent, monthly paper that accepts open submissions).
Several [[list of television stations in Connecticut|television]] and [[list of radio stations in Connecticut|radio station]]s based in Hartford cover the entire state. These stations serve the Hartford/[[New Haven, Connecticut|New Haven]] market, which is the 28th largest market in the U.S.
 
==Transportation==
===[[Airport]]s===
[[Bradley International Airport]], in [[Windsor Locks, Connecticut]], is twenty minutes north of Hartford and serves Hartford and [[Springfield, Massachusetts|Springfield]].
 
Other airports serving the Hartford area include:
*[[Brainard Airport]], located in Hartford off of [[Interstate 91|I-91]] and close to Wethersfield, serves charter flights and local flights.
*[[John F. Kennedy International Airport]] and [[LaGuardia Airport]] in New York, New York
*[[Logan International Airport]] in Boston, Massachusetts
*[[Tweed-New Haven Airport|Tweed New Haven Regional Airport]], located in New Haven, Connecticut, is served by [[US Airways Express]].
 
===[[Highway]]s===
During the [[1960s]] and [[1970s]], Hartford was something of a [[poster child]] for highway construction, and has several highways surrounding the downtown area. Still more projects were canceled, both within the city and the suburbs like the proposed [[Interstate 291 (Connecticut)|I-291]] beltway, due to community opposition.
 
[[Interstate 84 (east)|I-84]] runs from [[Danbury, Connecticut|Danbury]], on the New York border, to [[Union, Connecticut|Union]] on the Massachusetts border. [[Interstate 91|I-91]] starts in [[New Haven, Connecticut|New Haven]] off [[Interstate 95|I-95]] and continues all the way up to [[Canada]] along the [[Connecticut River]]. The two highways intersect in downtown Hartford. Their [[interchange]] remained incomplete, anticipating the extension of the [[Conland-Whitehead Highway]] to connect the two near the capitol building. This created a traffic tie-up that was unsnarled in the 1990s.
 
Hartford suffers from notoriously heavy traffic as a result of its suburban population, which is proportionally much larger than that of any other nearby city. As a result, thousands of people clog area highways at the start of the workday. I-84 experiences traffic from [[Farmington, Connecticut|Farmington]] through Hartford and into East Hartford and [[Manchester, Connecticut|Manchester]] during the [[rush hour]]. Outside of Hartford, there are delays going westbound east of the Connecticut River and delays going eastbound west of the city, while in Hartford there is traffic in both directions. I-91 has significant delays, usually south of the city in [[Wethersfield, Connecticut|Wethersfield]] and [[Rocky Hill, Connecticut|Rocky Hill]] and north of the city in [[Windsor, Connecticut|Windsor]] and [[Bloomfield, Connecticut|Bloomfield]].
 
Besides the two major interstates, the [[Connecticut State Highway 2|Route 2]] expressway runs from [[Norwich, Connecticut|Norwich]] in the southeastern part of the state up to [[East Hartford, Connecticut|East Hartford]] where it then intersects with I-84. There are delays through [[Glastonbury, Connecticut|Glastonbury]] and East Hartford in the morning hours.
 
Known as the ''Berlin Turnpike'', Routes [[U.S. Route 5|5]] and [[Connecticut State Highway 15|15]] run south of the city. Before [[Interstate 91|I-91]], the roadway carried people from Hartford to [[New Haven, Connecticut|New Haven]]. Along the Berlin Turnpike is an array of department stores, restaurants, and offices in [[Berlin, Connecticut|Berlin]], [[Newington, Connecticut|Newington]], and [[Wethersfield, Connecticut|Wethersfield]]. In Wethersfield, it becomes a highway-grade roadway that intersects with [[Interstate 91|I-91]] and [[Interstate 84 (east)|I-84]]. Past Berlin, Route 15 becomes the [[Wilbur Cross Parkway]] in [[Meriden, Connecticut|Meriden]], and later, the [[Merritt Parkway]] which runs parallel to [[Interstate 95|I-95]] to the [[New York]] border.
 
West of Hartford, [[U.S. Route 44|Route 44]] runs from [[West Hartford, Connecticut|West Hartford]] up into the hills of [[Litchfield County]] and eventually into [[New York]]. East of Hartford, Route 44 runs to [[Putnam, Connecticut|Putnam]] and into [[Rhode Island]].
 
===[[Railroad]]===
Hartford's dependence on the railroad has decreased since the automobile. However, the Hartford train station at One Union Place still operates. [[Amtrak]] provides service from Hartford to [[Springfield, Massachusetts|Springfield]], [[New Haven, Connecticut|New Haven]], [[New York City|New York]], [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]], [[Providence, Rhode Island|Providence]], and [[Washington DC]]. The station is also a major bus station serving numerous bus companies as Hartford is a mid way point between the popular New York to Boston route.
 
Currently there are preliminary plans to create a New Haven-Hartford-Springfield Commuter Rail Line with stations in communities close to [[Interstate 91|I-91]].-->
 
===[[Transportasi umum]]===
[[Connecticut Transit]] dimiliki oleh [[Departemen Transportasi Connecticut Department]]. CTTRANSIT mengoperasikan pelayanan bus lokal dan ulang-alik di dalam kota dan daerah sekitarnya. Pelayanan taksi tersedia dari stasiun kereta api di 1 Union Place atau dengan meneleponnya dari lokasi manapun di wilayah ini.
