 In the case of Hartford, just two sites were chosen to house the Hercules nuclear weapons, and they were East Windsor and Cromwell. In the case of Bridgeport, it was deemed satisfactory to have just one such nuclear weapons site, and it was located in Ansonia. Live nuclear weapons were housed in East Windsor, Cromwell, and Ansonia between 1960 and 1971. Local officials knew, but most of the population was unaware of the true nature of the situation.
