The town of Stafford is home to the Stafford Motor Speedway circuit. The track's address is 55 West St, Stafford Springs, Connecticut 06076.
Connecticut's capital of Hartford is home to the Allen, formerly known as Allen Manufacturing Company, the company that made the original Allen Wrench, and the bolts/screws that their tools fasten. Their type of fastener, patented in 1909, didn't require the head of the fastener to protrude from the machinery it was used on, which offered both safety and functionality improvements.
Hartford was also home to the Permatex company, which produces many chemicals that mechanics use to repair vehicles, such as gasket maker silicone RTV, cleaners, and pumice soap. In 2019, Permatex relocated to Solon, Ohio. Permatex was founded in 1909 and has been owned by Illinois Tool Works (NYSE: ITW) since 2005.
