This is a video about Governor Street, a partially lost street in Hartford, Connecticut. It was once the home of five governors of Connecticut, one from the 1850s and four from the 1600s! Part of the street was lost to the Sheldon Oak development and the rest was renamed Popieluszko Court. Besides being a residential street for early governors, it was a manufacturing area and a center for the Polish-American community. #hartfordhistory #hartford #hartfordct #danielsternervideos

    Any possibility there can ba a marker placed stating that it’s Governors St., actually also mentioning the streets very first name?

    RODNEY,

    You would have to take that up with the City of Hartford! Perhaps a group like the Hartford Preservation Alliance or the Society of the Descendants of the Founders of Hartford would be interested.
