Hartford is the capital of Connecticut, set on the Connecticut River in the center of the state. For more than a century it has been the insurance capital of the country, and the big carriers still anchor downtown.
Its cultural pedigree runs deep. The Wadsworth Atheneum is the oldest public art museum in the country, and Mark Twain wrote his best-known books in the elaborate house he built here, now a museum.
Interstates 84 and 91 cross in the city, and Bradley International Airport sits just north in Windsor Locks.
About a third of Hartford homes, roughly 32%, heat with oil. We list a good range of competitive suppliers to help you find the best price.
