	Connecticut River Valley : Introduction \| Frommers.com
		Native Americans of the region called the river Quinnetukut, which, to the tin ears of the English settlers, sounded like "Connecticut." The colonists encroached upon Indian territory as far north as present-day Windsor, which ignited a brief war with the Pequot, who occupied the land.

		The Connecticut River retains that nautical flavor, and the valley has miraculously avoided the industrialization, development, and decay that afflict most of the state's other rivers.
