  • The Connecticut panhandle is the southwestern appendage of Connecticut, where it abuts New York State. It is contained entirely in Fairfield County and includes all of Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan, and Darien, as well as parts of Norwalk and Wilton. It has some of the most expensive residential real estate in the United States. The irregularity in the boundary is the result of territorial disputes in the late 17th century, culminating with New York giving up its claim to this area, whose residents considered themselves part of Connecticut. In exchange, New York received an equivalent area extending northwards from Ridgefield, Connecticut, to the Massachusetts border, as well as undisputed claim to Rye, New York. The two British colonies negotiated an agreement on November 28, 1683, establishing the New York–Connecticut border as 20 miles (32 km) east of the Hudson River, north to Massachusetts. The 61,660 acres (249.5 km2) east of the Byram River making up the Connecticut panhandle were granted to Connecticut, in recognition of the wishes of the residents. In exchange, Rye was granted to New York, along with a 1.81-mile-wide (2.91 km) strip of land known as the "Oblong" running north from Ridgefield to Massachusetts, alongside the New York counties of Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess.

  • De Connecticut Panhandle, informeel ook wel bekend als the Tail (de Staart), is een panhandle van de Amerikaanse staat Connecticut op de plek waar het een hapje uit de staat New York neemt. Het is in zijn geheel deel van Fairfield County en bezit de plaatsen Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan, Darien en ook nog een gedeelte van Norwalk. Het is een gedeelte van het allerrijkste gedeelte van de Verenigde Staten. Deze onregelmatigheid in de grens is ontstaan in 1683 op het moment dat New York zijn claim op het stuk land introk omdat de inwoners zich meer tot Connecticut dan tot New York aangetrokken voelden in ruil voor een strook land ten noorden van Ridgefield tot aan de grens met de staat Massachusetts en voor een stuk land dat niet was ingetrokken van de claim. In ruil voor de Connecticut Panhandle kreeg New York een strook van 2,91 km langs de grens dat Oblong werd genoemd. (nl)
  • Il Connecticut Panhandle è l'appendice sud-occidentale del Connecticut, confinante con lo stato di New York. È contenuto interamente nella Contea di Fairfield e comprende le città di Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan e Darien, insieme a parti di Norwalk e include alcune delle zone residenziali più costose degli Stati Uniti d'America. L'irregolarità nel confine è il risultato di dispute territoriali nel tardo XVII secolo, culminate con New York che rinunciò alle pretese sull'area i cui residenti si consideravano parte del Connecticut, in cambio di un'area equivalente che si estendeva a nord da Ridgefield fino al confine con il Massachusetts, insieme alla città di Rye. Le due colonie britanniche (al tempo non ancora stati degli USA) negoziarono un accordo il 28 novembre 1683 istituendo il confine tra New York e Connecticut a 32 km (20 miglia) ad est del fiume Hudson, a nord del Massachusetts. L'area di circa 250 km² ad est del che costituiva il Connecticut Panhandle fu assegnata al Connecticut, come riconoscimento delle aspirazioni dei residenti. In cambio, Rye fu assegnata a New York, insieme a 3 km di striscia di terra che correva verso nord da Ridgefield verso il Massachusetts, insieme alle Contee di Dutchess, Putnam e Westchester, conosciute come "l'Oblungo".
