Land Area
Water Area
Land area is a measurement providing the size, in square miles, of the land portions of geographic entities for which the Census Bureau tabulates and disseminates data. Area is calculated from the specific boundary recorded for each entity in the Census Bureau's geographic database. Land area is based on current information in the TIGER® data base, calculated for use with Census 2010.
Water Area figures include inland, coastal, Great Lakes, and territorial sea water. Inland water consists of any lake, reservoir, pond, or similar body of water that is recorded in the Census Bureau's geographic database. It also includes any river, creek, canal, stream, or similar feature that is recorded in that database as a two- dimensional feature (rather than as a single line). The portions of the oceans and related large embayments (such as Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound), the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea that belong to the United States and its territories are classified as coastal and territorial waters; the Great Lakes are treated as a separate water entity. Rivers and bays that empty into these bodies of water are treated as inland water from the point beyond which they are narrower than 1 nautical mile across. Identification of land and inland, coastal, territorial, and Great Lakes waters is for data presentation purposes only and does not necessarily reflect their legal definitions.

Spill date/time. Location. Spill source and cause. Material(s) and material type spilled. Quantity spilled. Measurement units. Surface water bodies affected. Data limitations and factors to consider when using this data: This data is limited to information about a spill incident as it was known at the time it was reported to CT DEEP. Although some data reflects updated information after the time of the initial notification, CT DEEP is unable to field check and verify all reported information. Therefore, information later determined to be incomplete or inaccurate may exist in this data set. There may also be spelling errors or other unintentionally inaccurate data that was transcribed in the spill incident report. This dataset is a subset of records and information that may be available about releases that have occurred at specific locations. This dataset does not replace a full review of files publicly available either on-line and/or at CT DEEP’s Records Center. For a complete review of agency records for this or other agency programs, you can perform your own search in our DEEP public file room located at 79 Elm Street, Hartford CT or at our DEEP Online Search Portal at: https://filings.deep.ct.gov/DEEPDocumentSearchPortal/Home .

Public Investment Community Index
data.ct.gov | Last Updated 2024-07-12T18:04:47.000ZThe Office of Policy and Management (OPM) prepares the Public Investment Community (PIC) index not later than July 15 annually, pursuant to §7-545 of the Connecticut General Statutes (CGS). The PIC index measures the relative wealth and need of Connecticut’s towns by ranking them in descending order by their cumulative point allocations for: (1) per capita income; (2) adjusted equalized net grand list per capita; (3) equalized mill rate; (4) per capita aid to children receiving Temporary Family Assistance program benefits; and (5) unemployment rate. Pursuant to CGS §7-545 the PIC index includes each town that has a cumulative point ranking in the top quartile of the PIC Index (i.e. the 42 towns with the highest number of points). When a town’s ranking falls below the top quartile in a given fiscal year, the town's designation as a Public Investment Community continues for that year and the following four fiscal years. As a result, the PIC index includes certain towns carried over from previous fiscal years. The PIC index determines eligibility for several financial assistance programs that various agencies administer, including: -Urban Action Bond Assistance -Small Town Economic Assistance Program -Community Economic Development Program -Residential Mortgage Guarantee Program -Education Cost Sharing -Malpractice Insurance Purchase Program -Connecticut Manufacturing Innovation Fund -Enterprise Corridor Zone Designation Most of the towns included on the PIC index are eligible to elect for assistance under the Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) in lieu of Urban Action Bond assistance, pursuant to CGS §4-66g(b). An eligible town’s legislative body (or its board of selectmen if the town’s legislative body is the town meeting) must vote to choose STEAP assistance and the town must notify OPM following the vote. STEAP election is valid for four years and the statute allows extensions for additional four-year periods. STEAP election is not available for Ansonia, Bridgeport, Bristol, Danbury, East Hartford, Enfield, Groton, Hartford, Killingly, Manchester, Meriden, Middletown, New Britain, New Haven, New London, Norwalk, Norwich, Stamford, Torrington, Vernon, Waterbury, West Hartford, West Haven, and Windham. Pursuant to CGS §7-545, the following municipalities are also Public Investment Communities: Groton Montville Preston Scotland Thomaston Thompson Voluntown Wethersfield

Connecticut Courts, Inquests into Deaths 1711-1892
internal-ct.data.socrata.com | Last Updated 2024-07-03T13:50:27.000ZRecords of the Judicial Department Papers by Subject. Index to Inquests of Connecticut Deaths, 1711-1892 Starting in 1639, the General Court of Connecticut requested the Deputy “to consider of some orders concerning an inquiry into the death of any that happen either accidently or by violence” (Connecticut Colonial Record, Vol. 48, Pg. 42). Later in 1650 a Code of Laws was adopted in Connecticut which also included a provision that in case of a “very sudden, untimely or unnatural death , some Magistrate or the Constable of that Town shall forthwith summon a Jury of six or twelve discreet men to inquire of the cause and manner of their death” (Connecticut Colonial Record, Vol. 48, Pg. 523). For more than two hundred years, inquests into untimely accidental or violent deaths was the prevue of the Connecticut court system until the Connecticut General Assembly established the Office of the Coroner on May 1, 1883. Records of pre-1883 untimely deaths were generally handled via the county or superior courts found in each Connecticut county. This index covers the years 1711-1892 and references 2,120 Inquests into untimely accidental or violent deaths files from various County & Superior Courts for Fairfield, Hartford, Litchfield, Middlesex, New Haven, New London, Tolland, and Windham counties. In some cases, particularly for Tolland and Windham counties, coroner or medical examiner reports for the 1883-1892 time period were filed with the court. Please keep in mind that this index is not comprehensive and additional information may be found within the un-separated files and records of each court. This index includes the surname and given name of the individual, death year, town of death, cause of death, remarks of note taken from the document as well as the court and location of the original document.

Index to Loyalist Connecticut Court Records, 1776-84
internal-ct.data.socrata.com | Last Updated 2024-08-08T17:24:35.000ZThis index covers the years 1776-84 and references 867 individuals who were in some way charged as a Loyalist during the Revolutionary War. These original documents are from various County & Superior Courts primarily from Fairfield, Hartford, Litchfield, New Haven, and New London Counties; Middlesex and Tolland Counties were created in 1785 and there is only 1 record from Windham County in the index.

This index includes the surname and given name of the individual, residence, year of hearing, specific notes about the case, the Connecticut court where the case was heard along with drawer/box number where the original document is found. The bulk of the documents are either warrants for an arrest or a personal or Grand Jury complaint registered against an individual. Notes include such bits of information such as the person’s rank, the reason for the charge, the verdict in the case, or a petition to reduce the sentence. Of particular interest are three “Negro” men who were accused of treason, and accusations against several men who lived out of state but owned land in Connecticut.

Connecticut Divorce Index, 1655-1953
internal-ct.data.socrata.com | Last Updated 2024-08-12T18:00:58.000ZDivorce records are often a valuable source of information for researchers, as they can provide sometimes difficult to find information like a couple's date of marriage, the names of children, and a woman's maiden name. They also allow a fascinating insight into the values and mores surrounding marriage at the time. Connecticut began granting divorces in the mid-17th century, although only very, very sparingly at first. In the beginning only the General Assembly could grant a divorce; as the court system developed this eventually became mainly the purview of the superior courts, although the General Assembly continued to grant divorces until the early 20th century. This index is a combination of several different indexes created by Connecticut State Library staff over a period of many years. It contains divorce records for the following counties and dates: Fairfield: 1712-1941 Hartford: 1712-1953 Litchfield: 1751-1798, 1899-1927* Middlesex: 1786-1904 New Haven: 1712-1944 New London: 1712-1798* Tolland: 1786-1937 Windham: 1712-1798, 1907-1921* It also contains divorces granted by the General Assembly for 1655-1915. Divorce records for Litchfield, New London, and Windham Counties that fall in years not included in this list can be found in two books compiled by Barbara B. Ferris and Grace Louise Knox in the 1980s, located in the History & Genealogy reading room: <ul><li>Connecticut divorces: Superior court records for the counties of New London, Tolland & Windham, 1719-1910</li> <li>Connecticut divorces: Superior Court records for the counties of Litchfield, 1752-1922 and Hartford, 1740-1849</li></ul> Each entry in this list has a location of either a record or a file. Records are a brief summary of the case and the court's verdict that can be found in court record books. Files may have more information, such as the original divorce petition, statements from the litigants and witnesses, costs, and other material. To request a digital of physical copy of a record or file, please contact the staff of the <a href="https://libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/hg/home" target="blank_">History & Genealogy Unit</a> by telephone (860) 757-6580 or <a href="https://portal.ct.gov/csl/Email-Us?language=en_US" target="blank_">email</a>.
