Connecticut is the name of the fifth state to be admitted into what is nowadays known as the United States of America.

Specifically, the nutmeg state previously carried the name of Connecticut Colony. It originally formed on March 3, 1636 and subsequently merged with Saybrook Colony in 1644 and New Haven Colony in 1662. It joined the Union on January 9, 1788, seven days after the Province of Georgia.
