The capital of Connecticut today has a population of nearly 123,000. Maritime trade has been the city's main activity. In order to mutualize the risks associated with sometimes dangerous voyages, sailors created the first insurance companies in the 18th century. Today, Hartford is also a city where artists and financiers mingle. Its architecture bears witness to the rich history of the region. Some Hartford residents have left a lasting impression on the history of the country through their writings. Mark Twain, author of the famous Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Harriet Beecher Stowe, wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, whose houses can be visited today.
