Constitution State: Though often disputed by historians, John Fiske argued that the Fundamental Orders of 1638-39—written in Connecticut—bore the first principles evidenced in the U.S. Constitution. Former Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court, Simeon E. Baldwin, defended Fiske’s claim by writing: “never had a company of men deliberately met to frame a social compact for immediate use, constituting a new and independent commonwealth, with definite officer, executive and legislative, and prescribed rule and modes of government until the first planters of Connecticut came together for their great work on January 14th, 1638-9.”

What are the unofficial nicknames of Connecticut state?

Nutmeg State: Because the early settlers of Connecticut were innovative and shrewd, a story developed that they were able to sell wooden nutmeg. This story is said to have originated with Judge Haliburton, or Sam Slick. Another story notes that Connecticut peddlers didn’t actually sell wooden nutmeg, but that southern buyers didn’t know that nutmeg had to be grated and thus called it ‘wood.’ It was first known as the “Land of Wooden Nutmegs,” then “The Wooden Nutmeg State,” and eventually just “The Nutmeg State.”

Provisions State: Connecticut provided most of the artillery and food for the Continental forces during the Revolutionary War. Albert E. Van Dusen writes that “perhaps the best indication of Connecticut’s pre-eminent position as a supply state is found in Washington’s very frequent appeals to Trumbull for help in provisions.”

The Blue Law State: Refers to “Blue Laws” or religious laws in colonial New England that must be observed on Sundays. They usually prohibit entertainment and leisure.

Land of Steady Habits: A biblical allusion to the strictly religious and moral character of Connecticut’s colonial settlers.

The Freestone State: Official nickname in 1843.

Arsenal of the Nation: Another allusion to Connecticut supplying artillery to the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.
