Hartford
About 121,000 people.
Hartford is the capital of Connecticut, where the state's leaders make important decisions in a gold-domed capitol building. The writer Mark Twain lived here and wrote some of his most beloved books in town.
You can tour Mark Twain's fancy house, see America's oldest public art museum at the Wadsworth Atheneum, and visit the shiny golden State Capitol.
