   • The Blue Law State. The Puritans, some of Connecticut’s earliest settlers, indirectly helped coin one of the first nicknames: the “Blue Law State.” While some say the rules took their name from the blue paper on which they were written, others feel the term “blue” referred to the founders’ straight-laced, firm, and prim behaviors.
   • The Provisions State. Another early moniker originated during the Revolutionary War when Connecticut provided generous “provisions” in the form of men, food, cannons, and other supplies to the Continental army, which had multiple ammunition outposts around the colony.
   • The Land of Steady Habits. Though generous with supplies during the colonial period, Connecticut traditionally had residents who followed strict rules of moral character, dating back to the time of the “Blue Laws” and leading it to be known in the early 19th century as the “Land of Steady Habits.”
   • The Freestone and Brownstone State. Connecticut’s abundance of quarries, from Canaan and Greenwich to Cromwell and Portland, gave the state additional nicknames: the “Freestone State” and the “Brownstone State.”
