- List_of_city_nicknames_in_Connecticut abstract "This partial list of city nicknames in Connecticut compiles the aliases, sobriquets and slogans that Connecticut cities and towns are known by (or have been known by historically), officially and unofficially, to municipal governments, local people, outsiders or their tourism boards or chambers of commerce. City nicknames can help in establishing a civic identity, helping outsiders recognize a community or attracting people to a community because of its nickname; promote civic pride; and build community unity. Nicknames and slogans that successfully create a new community "ideology or myth" are also believed to have economic value. Their economic value is difficult to measure, but there are anecdotal reports of cities that have achieved substantial economic benefits by "branding" themselves with new slogans.Some unofficial nicknames are positive, while others are derisive. The unofficial nicknames listed here have been in use for a long time or have gained wide currency.Berlin - Geographic Center of Connecticut Bethlehem - The Christmas TownBridgeport - The Park CityBristol - Clock CityCheshire - Bedding Plant Capital of Connecticut.Danbury - Hat City.Derby - Connecticut's Smallest City Groton - Submarine Capital of the WorldHamden - Land of the Sleeping Giant HartfordInsurance Capital of the World Insurance CityMadison - Connecticut's Front Porch Manchester - Silk City Meriden - Silver City Middletown - Forest CityNaugatuck - Rubber City New BritainHardware CityHard-hittin' New BritainNew Haven - The Elm City (reported in the 1880s as City of Elms)Norwich - Rose City or The Rose of New EnglandStamfordLock City (a reference to the now-defunct Yale & Towne lock factory)."The City that Works!"Waterbury - The Brass City West Haven - Connecticut's Friendliest CityWillimantic - Thread City ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 ↑ 2.0 2.1 ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ 7.00 7.01 7.02 7.03 7.04 7.05 7.06 7.07 7.08 7.09 7.10 ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ 15.0 15.1 15.2 ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑".
