The Wangunk or Wongunk are an Indigenous people from central Connecticut. [5] [3] They had three major settlements in the areas of the present-day towns of Portland, Middletown, and Wethersfield. They also used lands in other parts of what were later organized by English settlers as Middlesex and Hartford counties. [6]
