As one of the original thirteen colonies, Connecticut has a long history of newspaper publishing. The Hartford Courant (founded in 1764) is one of the nation’s oldest continuously published newspapers, preserving records of colonial ancestors, Revolutionary War soldiers, and early industries. These archives are a goldmine for genealogists looking to trace families through obituaries, marriage announcements, and local news.
