The Connecticut River cuts through the center of the state, flowing into Long Island Sound, Connecticut's outlet to the Atlantic Ocean. Although Connecticut is small (5,018 square miles), it has regional variations in its landscape and culture.

The recent establishment of two very large and lucrative Indian casinos, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, in the southeastern region of the state has led to a large influx of money in that area, as well as statewide in general.
