Southeastern Connecticut : ウィキペディア英語版 | Southeastern Connecticut
The Southeastern Connecticut region comprises, as the name suggests, the southeastern corner of the state of Connecticut. It is sometimes referred to as Greater New London or by the tourist slogan ''Mystic and More''. Southeastern Connecticut has historically been an area heavily dependent on traditional New England economic activities such as fishing, whaling, oystering, and the defense industry. In the present day, the area remains the primary home of the state's fishing and shellfish activity, but has since diversified its economic base to include tourism, gambling, and other services. The area is home to the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, a United States Navy base in Groton (also home to Electric Boat where the first U.S. nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus (SSN-571), was launched, on January 21, 1954), a Pfizer research facility, and the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods casinos. There is currently a petition to make Fishers Island, New York part of Southeastern Connecticut. ==Definitions== There are several official definitions for the region. In all definitions, the following 16 towns are always included: *Bozrah *East Lyme *Franklin *Griswold *Groton (town and separate central city) *Ledyard *Lisbon *Montville *New London (central city) *North Stonington *Norwich (central city) *Preston *Salem *Sprague *Stonington *Voluntown *Waterford
