Connecticut: Hazardville

N 41° 49.054' W 89° 18.786'

Hazardville, Connecticut, began as a 19th-century industrial village that manufactured gunpowder, but ironically, the serendipitous name has nothing to do with the danger of explosives. The town of 5,000 was instead named after Augustus George Hazard, an aptly named gunpowder salesman from New York City who bought into the production facility in Enfield, Connecticut, in 1837. A decade later, Hazard took over the company; the business was renamed Hazard Powder Company, and the area became known as Hazardville.
