"земли для погорельцев"
Земли общей площадью более 202 тыс. га, выделенные в 1796 властями Коннектикута жителям городов, пострадавших в период Войны за независимость [War of Independence]. Часть земель была также выделена племени делаваров [Delaware]. Земли были разделены между новыми владельцами в 1808, многие новые поселения [township] получили названия пострадавших населенных пунктов: Гротон, Нью-Лондон, Данбери, Фэрфилд, Норуок, Гринвич и др. Для их обустройства была создана фирма "Файерлендс компани" [Firelands Co.]
