Original Title: TIL Connecticut’s 1662 charter from King Charles II gave it land from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Until 1786, it claimed territory between the 41st and 42nd parallels, including parts of what are now Utah, Nevada, and California. It wasn’t until 1800 that it gave up much of what became Ohio.
