East Hartford

Town in Hartford County, central Connecticut; population (1990) 50,500. It is situated on the Hockanum River and lies across the Connecticut River from Hartford. East Hartford, which includes the towns of Hockanum and Burnside, is heavily industrial; manufactures include jet engines, firearms, steel, paper, stamp and die plates, and candy.
