Hartford Courant's 1764 birth marks long newspaper lineage
The Hartford Courant began as the Connecticut Courant on October 28 1764 published weekly on hand press. Thomas Green founded it in Hartford then Ebeneezer Watson carried on during wartime setbacks including a 1777 mill fire. A 1836 takeover by John L Boswell started a daily paper while weekly edition lingered until 1914.
