Nickname - The Constitution State: (Official) John Fiske, the historian, claimed that The Fundamental Orders of 1638-39 comprised the first written constitution in history.

The General Assembly designated Connecticut "The Constitution State" in 1959. Residents - People who live in Connecticut or who come from Connecticut are called Connecticuters. In 1702, Cotton Mather referred to Connecticuters as Connecticotians. Samual Peters referred to Connecticutensians. Nicknames for Connecticuters include Nutmegs or Nutmeggers.

In the early days of colonization, the tall White Pines of Maine were valued for ship's masts. Residents - People who live in or come from Maine are called Mainers. Variants of this are Maine Staters and State of Mainers. You may also hear Mainers referred to as Down Easters (because of the eastern longitudes of the state). Official State Symbols •Animal - Moose •Berry - Wild Blueberry •Bird - Chickadee •Drink - Moxie •Cat - Maine Coon Cat •Fish - Landlocked Salmon •Herb - Wintergreen •Insect - Honeybee •Soil - Chesuncook Soil Series •Song - State of Maine Song •Tree - White Pine

There are pich pines and punkin pines also. 2012-01-18 22:59:47 by vaxvms •Things to do •Maine Vacations Submitted by Dominokat •Touring the Maine Coast Submitted by Dominokat
