HISTORICAL SKETCH.
HISTORICAL SKETCH, &c. OF THE CITY OF HARTFORD.
THE first settlement by the English, of Hartford, was commenced in 1635, by persons from Newton, now Cambridge, in Massachusetts. The principal part of the settlers did not start until 1636. Dr. Trumbull says, " About the beginning of June, Mr. Stone, and about one hundred men, women and children, took their departure from Cambridge, and traveled more than a hundred miles, through a hideous and trackies: wilderness, to Hartford. They had no guide but their compass, and made their way over mountains, through swamps, thickets and rivers, which were not passable but with great difficulty. They had no cover but the heavens, nor any lodgings but those that simple nature afforded them. They drove with them a hundred and sixty head of cattle, and by the way subsisted on the milk of d'air cows. Mrs. Ilooker was borne through the wilderness upon a litter. The people carried their parks, arms, and some utensils. They were nearly & fortnight on their journey." " This adventure was the more remarkable, as many of this company were per- sons of figure, who had lived in England, in honor, aiflu- ence and delicacy, and were entire strangers to fatigue and danger." The Indian name of Hartford was Suck- ing. A deed appears to have been given by Sunckquas- sun, the sachem of the place, about 1636, to Samuel Stone and William Goodwin, who appear to bave acted he fir: . tilers.
Fitch valled un the Connecticut river. a wheel a fort at the junction of the Conne ......
: and Little rivers, on a point of land known as Dutch mint. They maintained a distinct and independe ::: government, with difficulties often with the English. " !. . 11511, when they were treated as declared cz. .. . . of the English, and driven off. 2

HISTORICAL SKETCH
Hartford City is covered with a strong clay soil, but near the river is of a rich blaek mold. The city was incorporated May 29, 1784. It is one and a half miles in length, by about one in breadth. It is located on the west side of Conneetieut river, at the head of steam- boat navigation, and 50 miles from its mouth, in latitude 41º 45', and longitude 4 º 15' east from Washington. By railroad it is 111 miles north east from New York, and 124 miles west by south west from Boston, and 126 miles south east from Albany, 90 miles west of Provi- denee. The Legislature of the State meets in this eity every odd year. The city is divided by the Little river, which is spanned by three freestone bridges-two of three arches each, and the one on Main street is of a single arch, on rock foundation, and is 100 feet wide, ? feet in thickness at the base, and 3 feet 3 inches at the eenter-the ehord or span of which is 104 feet, and is 30 feet 9 inches elevation from the bed of the river to the top of the arch. The Great Bridge across the Con- neeticut River, is more than 1000 feet in length and has cost about $125,000. The Charter Oak tree, in whose trunk was the eavity in which wasconecaled the Charter of Connecticut Oct. 31, 1687, and which was resumed May 9, 1689, was blown down in a severe storm, at 10 minutes before 1 o'clock, A. M. Aug. 20, 1856. This tree stood on lot No. 29 Charter Oak avenue. This Charter which was eoneealed therein was granted to the colonists by Charles IT. King of England, April 234, 1682. And by order of James II, King of England the unsuccessful attempt to wrest the same from the State, was made by Sir Edmond Andross, Ort. 31, 1687. This Charter was supersveded by the adoption of our present Constitution O .t. 5th. 1818. The orignal Charter is in : Weof Story of State, franklin w-

SKETCH OF HARTFORD.
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXES range from 1 to 4 per eent. Adding the average of the School Tax the total taxes of the eity would be 21 cents, which would make our taxes this year 63 cents on the $100. Last year there were extraordinary taxes for Sewers and inci- dental expenses to Water Works which swelled them, for that year only, much above the the average. But " our taxes this year are very much lower than those of Providence, or of almost any eity of the size of Hart- ford in New England, where they have the convenien- ees that we have. We also have the prospect of a haud- some income from our water works in future."
THE CITY TAX for this year of 11 eents, will raise $55.000.

In the year 1838 our Map of the City, as it then was, showed 48 streets, to which annual additions have been made until the city numbers now 140 streets and avenues.
In the year 1638 there was only 17 pages of miscel- laneous information-which has annually been on the increase until now there are 128 sucli pages.
In this number we show what rapid advances this city has made the past year, as well as during the past twenty years. We add upwards of 1860 new names this year. We found more than 1620 removals, &c. the past year .. The changes in the list of Churches, Corporations, Soci- eties Schools, Banks, &c., have been over 2500. The copy in which the corrections are made; also a file of our Directory for twenty years with Directories for 1837 from many cities can be seen at No. 16 State st.
The first number of this Directory was issued in the year 1838, and numbered 72 pages, and contained 1625 names.
