1637
Connecticut, CT · On map
The 1637 Pequot War ended with a massacre of Pequot people and the forced removal of survivors from their ancestral lands[5][16]. This event marked the final destruction of the Pequot tribe as a political entity in Connecticut[5]. The massacre and removal were part of the broader pattern of colonial violence against Indigenous peoples to secure land for European settlement[16].
