East Hartford

The Connecticut River frames East Hartford — the city occupies its eastern bank opposite Hartford, and bridges across the broad waterway shape daily regional connections. Incorporated in 1783 after separating from Hartford, East Hartford grew from a riverfront farming community into an industrial suburb. Aerospace remains central to its identity: Pratt & Whitney has long maintained major operations here, while the former Rentschler Field airfield site now includes Pratt & Whitney Stadium, home to University of Connecticut football. Great River Park brings trails and open lawns to the river’s edge. Browse further webcams throughout Connecticut to set this riverside city in a broader geographic context.
