How this area is defined
This area follows the federal definition of the Hartford metro: the Capitol and Lower Connecticut River Valley planning regions. That definition comes from OMB Bulletin No. 23-01, July 21, 2023. Its principal cities are Hartford, West Hartford, East Hartford and Middletown.
Connecticut has had no county government since 1960 (CT State Library). The Census now counts the state by planning regions. So we list towns under the county names people still use, with the region beside them. Building permits come from each town or city.
| County name people use | Planning region | Towns | Page or section |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hartford County | Capitol | 26 towns | Hartford County towns |
| Tolland County | Capitol | 12 towns | Tolland County towns |
| Middlesex County | Lower Connecticut River Valley | 15 towns | Middletown and Middlesex County |
| New London County | Lower Connecticut River Valley | Lyme, Old Lyme | Middletown and Middlesex County |
Town lists come from the Capitol Region Council of Governments and RiverCOG.
