About New Britain Connecticut, CT
New Britain is a city in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. It is
located approximately 9 miles southwest of Hartford. Among the southernmost of
the communities encompassed within the Hartford-Springfield Knowledge Corridor
metropolitan region, New Britain is home to Central Connecticut State University
and Charter Oak State College. The city's official nickname is the "Hardware
City" because of its history as a manufacturing center and as the headquarters
of Stanley Black & Decker. Because of its large Polish population, the city is
often playfully referred to as "New Britski. New Britain's terrain is mostly
made up of soft, rolling hills and young Connecticut forest. The many parks are
populated with trees, and in small, undeveloped areas, there is also brushy
woods. New Britain's streets also have many trees lining the sides of the roads.
Many front yards in the northern half of the city have at least one tree. One or
two streams flow through New Britain, undisturbed by the development. New
Britain has the largest Polish population of any city in Connecticut, and by
1930 a quarter of the city was ethnically Polish. Also referred to as "Little
Poland", the city's Broad Street neighborhood has been home to a considerable
number of Polish businesses and families since 1890. On September 23, 2008,
through the urging of the Polonia Business Association, the New Britain City
Council unanimously passed a resolution officially designating New Britain's
Broad Street area as "Little Poland." The post office branch in Little Poland is
the only one in the nation with the word "post" written in Polish to welcome
visitors. Each year, a Little Poland festival is held on the last Sunday of
April. New Britain is home to the global headquarters of the Fortune 500
manufacturing conglomerate Stanley Black & Decker. Other notable companies
headquartered in New Britain include Creed Monarch, Guida's Dairy and Polamer
Precision. New Britain is the home of the New Britain Symphony Orchestra, which
was formed in 1948 by several faculty members at the former Teacher’s College,
now Central Connecticut State University. The orchestra performed its first
concert under the direction of Dr. Etzel Willhoit, President of the College. The
orchestra was official organized as the New Britain Symphony Society, Inc. in
1952 by Helen Kilduff, who was at the time the supervisor of music in New
Britain’s public schools.[21] Maestro Ertan Seyyar Sener is the current
conductor and musical director of the New Britain Symphony Orchestra, a role he
assumed during the 2014–2015 concert season. The city is home to Central
Connecticut State University and Charter Oak State College, a public liberal
arts college.

Interesting Birthday Facts
The idea of celebrating the date of your birth is a pagan
tradition. In fact, many Christians didn't celebrate
birthdays historically, because of that link to paganism.
Pagans thought that evil spirits lurked on days of major
changes, like the day you turn a year older.
On the
contrary, a birthday signifies your beginning and the joy of
life. Every human on earth has been given a chance to
fulfill their own unique mission. A birthday is an important
and momentous occasion not be be understated. It is a time
to celebrate, reflect and give thanks.
Why do we celebrate birthdays with cake?
The Greeks would make round cakes to honor Artemis, the
goddess of the moon. The lit candles on the cake represented
the glow of the moon, and the smoke from the candles carried
their prayers and wishes to the Gods who lived in the skies.
Who was the first person to celebrate a birthday?
The Greeks most likely took the idea of birthday celebration
from the Egyptians, since just like the celebration of the
pharaohs as “gods,” the Greeks were celebrating their gods
and goddesses. 3. Ancient Romans were the first to celebrate
birthdays for the common man (but just the men).
Which birthdays are milestones?

birthday party. A: Milestone birthdays that are most
commonly celebrated are Sweet 16, 21, 30, 40, 50 and 60. For

75 so on and so forth.
When did they
start putting candles on birthday cakes?
The round cakes represented the moon, with candles adding
light. Cakes specifically for birthdays (rather than
weddings) originated in 15th century Germa
layer cakes were especially popular for first birthdays. In
the 18th century children's birthday parties called
Kinderfesten became popular.
Do your
birthday wishes come true?
Their belief that smoke from the candles carried prayers to
the gods may have been the origin of making wishes when we
blow out the candles on our birthday cakes. ... However,
whether a wish comes true or not doesn't have anything to do
with birthday candles, shooting stars, or eyelashes.
Sometimes it's just chance.
What religion
do you not celebrate your birthday?
While almost all Christians accept the practice today,
Jehovah's Witnesses and some Sacred Name groups refrain from
celebrating birthdays due to the custom's pagan origins, its
connections to magic and superstitions.
What is the birthday bumps?
"The bumps", or "the dumps" in Scotland, a birthday torment
common in countries such as the UK, Ireland, Canada, and
India, involves the friends and family of the person whose
birthday it is taking him or her by the arms and legs, and
"bumping" him/her up into the air and down onto the floor.
