New Britain
About 74,000 people.
New Britain earned the nickname Hardware City because its factories made tools and hardware sold all over the world. It is also known for its lively Polish community and tasty food.
You can see famous paintings at the New Britain Museum of American Art, smell thousands of flowers at Walnut Hill Park's rose garden, and cheer at a Bees baseball game.
