As of the 2010 Census, Hartford's population was 124,775,〔http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/cph-2-8.pdf ''Connecticut: 2010 Population and Housing Unit Counts,'' U.S. Census Bureau, June 2012, table 8, page 11. Retrieved May 17, 2014〕 making it Connecticut's fourth-largest city after the coastal cities of Bridgeport, New Haven, and Stamford. Nicknamed the "Insurance Capital of the World", Hartford houses many insurance company headquarters, and insurance remains the region's major industry.〔(City of Hartford History ) (The State of Connecticut is sometimes known as "the land of steady habits.")(Connecticut Nicknames, Connecticut State Library ) 〕 Founded in 1637, Hartford is among the oldest cities in the United States. Hartford is home to the nation's oldest public art museum, the Wadsworth Atheneum; the oldest public park, Bushnell Park; the oldest continuously published newspaper, ''The Hartford Courant''; the second-oldest secondary school, Hartford Public; Trinity College, an elite, private liberal arts college, and the Mark Twain House where the author wrote his most famous works and raised his family, among other historically significant attractions. In 1868, resident Mark Twain wrote, "Of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see this is the chief." Following the American Civil War, Hartford was the richest city in the United States for several decades.〔Paul Zielbauer, "(Poverty in a Land of Plenty: Can Hartford Ever Recover? )" ''The New York Times'', August 26, 2002.〕 Today, Hartford is one of the poorest cities in the nation with 3 out of every 10 families living below the poverty line.〔(part 2: follow the money from city to suburbs | On The Line ). Ontheline.trincoll.edu (2013-01-09). Retrieved on 2013-07-15.〕 In sharp contrast, the Hartford metropolitan area is ranked 32nd of 318 metropolitan areas in total economic production〔()〕 and 7th out of 280 metropolitan statistical areas in per capita income. Highlighting the socio-economic disparity between Hartford and its suburbs, 83% of Hartford's jobs are filled by commuters from neighboring towns who earn over $80,000, while 75% of Hartford residents who commute to work in other towns earn just $40,000.〔(Metro Hartford Progress Points, retrieved 3/13/2015 )〕 ==History== Various tribes, all part of the loose Algonquin confederation, lived in or around present-day Hartford. The area was referred to as ''Suckiaug, meaning "Black Fertile River-Enhanced Earth, good for planting." These included the Podunks, mostly east of the Connecticut River; the Poquonocks, north and west of Hartford; the Massacoes, in the Simsbury area; the Tunxis tribe, in West Hartford and Farmington; the Wangunks, to the south; and the Saukiog in Hartford itself.〔Bacon, Nick. 2013.
