There are plenty of famous people from Connecticut. Scroll through a list of celebrities who were born here and you’ll find a diverse list that includes Katharine Hepburn, George W. Bush, J.P. Morgan, and more internationally-renowned people from a variety of fields. Many of these celebrities were born in our larger cities, like New Haven and Hartford. That makes sense, since, of course, more people are born in larger cities to begin with. However, we have quite a few people with roots in our smaller towns, as well. Did you know that one of the biggest names in politics grew up in a small town in Connecticut? Ralph Nader is a well-known political activist, lawyer, and author who was born in Winsted, Connecticut, a small city in Litchfield County. He has been a major player in the political world for over half a century, and he got his start right here in the Nutmeg State.
