The Algonkin people lived in and around Hartford when Dutch fur traders established a trading station with Fort Hoop on the banks of the Conneticut River in 1623. Ten years later, Jacob Van Curler acquired the lands around Fort Hoop. Englishmen settled north of the fort from 1636. The following year, Hartford got its name. The settlement grew and Hartford gained city status in 1784.
