Description

East Hartford is a town in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 49,575 at the 2000 census.

In 1659, Thomas Burnham (1617 - 1688) purchased the tract of land now covered by the towns of South Windsor and East Hartford from Tantinomo, Chief sachem of the Podunk Indians. Burnham lived on the land and later willed it to his nine children. The town of Hartford once included the land now occupied by the towns of East Hartford, Manchester, and West Hartford. In 1783, East Hartford became a separate town, which included Manchester in its city limits until 1823." - from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Hartford,_Connecticut.
