Hartford came to know Bob Ferguson in 1875 when he signed a contract to manage and play third base for the city's entry in the National Association (1871-1875), America's first professional baseball league.
As Hartford departed on a long western tour, the Cincinnati debacle was a distant memory.
He was elected mayor of Hartford, served four years as a controversial governor of Connecticut, and was a U.S. senator from 1905 to 1911.
Hartford and its environs are also known as "the land of steady habits." The region has a relatively low population of adults between the ages of 18 and 25, although Hartford itself has a relatively young population.
Hartford is bordered by the towns of West Hartford, Newington, Wethersfield, East Hartford, Bloomfield, South Windsor, and Windsor.
