overview : After the Connecticut Historical Commission was established in 1955 to recognize and preserve the state's historical, architectural, and archaeological heritage, its responsibilities were significantly broadened 11 years later. - The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 authorized a State Historic Preservation Office in each state and territory, and in Connecticut, that office was organized in the Connecticut Historical Commission as the Historic Preservation Division.
