Although it never had an indigenous Mafia Family to call its own, since at least the Roaring Twenties, the State of Connecticut has played host to a variety of Cosa Nostra factions all operating within its borders.
These include individual “regimes” or factions of the Genovese, Gambino, and Colombo Families of New York City as well as the Patriarca Family which is based in nearby Providence, Rhode Island.
They were active throughout Connecticut in such cities as New Britain, Bridgeport, and Hartford, among others. Over the years, these mob factions partnered and shared as well as competed for underworld “turf” and overall supremacy within The Nutmeg State.
