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.

Patents by Connecticut Inventors 1800-1890
internal-ct.data.socrata.com | Last Updated 2024-08-16T15:27:38.000ZConnecticut Patents 1800-1890 This list was compiled by Museum of Connecticut History staff in the 1990s, and lists all patents by Connecticut inventors between the years of 1800-1890. This period spans a time of incredible industrial growth and inventiveness in Connecticut, and the Yankee ingenuity on display in these patents helped make the state one of the premier industrial centers of the nation and the world. Many of the pre-1836 patents listed here are only known because of annual lists of patents or patent digests that were published by the Patent Office. The actual records were destroyed in a fire in 1836, and many were never reconstructed. All of the pre-1836 patents are known as the “X-Patents,” and those that have been recovered were given patent numbers beginning with the letter X. Patents up to this time had not actually had numbers of any kind, they were simply known by date and title. About five months before the fire, the Patent Office began numbering their patents; this system, now up to seven digits, is still in use today. Patents found in this dataset can be found using the <a href=”https://www.uspto.gov/patents/search/patent-public-search”>Patent Public Search tool</A> on the U.S. Patent Office’s website. The easiest way to locate a patent is to enter the seven-digit serial number into the basic search. The Connecticut Patents 1800-1890 dataset contains names of inventors, assignees if relevant (inventors could “assign” ownership of patents to another person or entity), descriptions of the invention, patent numbers (if available), and date of issue. It also contains a two-digit class code that corresponds to a general subject area. The subjects are: 01 Firearms, guns, cannons, etc. 02 Metallurgy, metalworking, etc. 03 Woodworking, sawmills, etc. 04 Weaving, sewing, looms, etc. 05 Steam boilers, engines 06 Railroads 07 Ships, boats, canals 08 Clothing 09 Agriculture 10 Hardware, tools, etc. 11 Tanning 12 Rubber 13 Musical instruments 14 Medical 15 Foods and cooking 16 Business and labor 17 Clocks 18 Fireplaces, stoves, furnaces, etc. 19 Lanterns, lamps, and lighting 20 Furniture 21 Household items 22 Doors, windows, drawers, trunks, etc. 23 Grinding mills 24 Stonemasonry, mining, etc. 25 Vehicles, non-motorized 26 Chemical processes?

Environmental Monitoring Results for Radioactivity: Water Samples
data.ct.gov | Last Updated 2024-07-05T15:21:41.000Z- Reporting units of sample results [where 1 picoCurie (pCi) = 1 trillionth (1E-12) Curie (Ci)]: • Water Samples are reported in pCi/L. - Data Quality Disclaimer: This database is for informational use and is not a controlled quality database. Efforts have been made to ensure accuracy of data in the database; however, errors and omissions may occur. Examples of potential errors include: • Data entry errors. • Lab results not reported for entry into the database. • Missing results due to equipment failure or unable to retrieve samples due to lost or environmental hazards. • Translation errors – the data has been migrated to newer data platforms numerous times, and each time there have been errors and data losses. - Error Results are the calculated uncertainty for the sample measurement results and are reported as (+/-). - Environmental Sample Records are from the year 1998 until present. Prior to 1998 results were stored in hardcopy, in a non-database format. Requests for results from samples taken prior to 1998 or results subject to quality assurance are available from archived records and can be made through the DEEP Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) administrator at deep.foia@ct.gov.

2024 Connecticut Parcel and CAMA Data
data.ct.gov | Last Updated 2024-10-14T03:04:25.000ZThis dataset contains statewide CAMA information for the parcels in Connecticut, created by the GIS office in accordance with CGS Sec. 4d-90-92 and 7-100L. It is part of the 2024 data collection effort, which involved gathering CAMA data from all municipalities through the Council of Governments. The parcel layer is provided as a zipped folder containing a File Geodatabase, encompassing information from all 169 towns organized into a seamless parcel layer. The CAMA dataset include details about real property within Connecticut towns, which can be linked to the parcel data using a GIS software. The linking is facilitated through a designated column called ‘link’ that contains unique codes for each town and the designated values provided by the assessors and COGs. While the data was gathered from Connecticut towns and submitted to CT OPM by the COGs, it’s important to note that not all towns adhered to the established schema. As a result, some attribute names, primary and secondary keys, naming conventions, and file formats were inconsistent. Cleaning and reorganization were performed to align the data with the state schema, though some limitations remain. This file was generated on 09/28/2024 from data collected throughout 2024. Additional Note: Some towns were unable to verify which entries were suppressed pursuant to Connecticut General Statute Sec. 1-217. As a result, all related information has been fully suppressed. The owner and co-owner fields have been replaced with "Current Owner" and "Current Co-Owner," respectively, and the mailing address has been updated to reflect the location address.
