The history of Hartford Hospital is long and illustrious. Established in 1854, it was the 1st hospital to be built in Hartford. An industrial explosion that killed or injured many people spurred the community to build the area's 1st hospital, and from those early beginnings has grown the leading medical center in Hartford and one of the best hospitals in New England. Hartford Hospital is the major teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Connecticut Medical School, serving the New England region.
