Connecticut's land originally extended westward to the Hudson River, encompassing parts of what are now New York and Pennsylvania. The boundaries were established through various treaties and land grants in the 17th century. However, as neighboring colonies and states formed, Connecticut's western claims were gradually relinquished. By the time of its statehood in 1788, Connecticut's borders were defined, and it officially became more compact, focusing on its current eastern and southern boundaries.
