New Britain extends from 148°18'31" to 152°23'57" E longitude and from 4°08'25" to 6°18'31" S latitude. It is crescent-shaped, approximately 520km (320mi) along its southeastern coastline, and from 29 to 146km (18–91miles) wide, not including a small central peninsula. The air-line distance from west to east is 477km (296mi). The island is the 38th largest in the world, with an area of 36,520km2 (14,100sqmi).
Steep cliffs form some sections of the coastline; in others the mountains are further inland, and the coastal area is flat and bordered by coral reefs. The highest point, at 2,438m (7,999ft), is Mount Sinewit in the Baining range in the east. Most of the terrain is covered with tropical rainforest and several large rivers are fed by the high rainfall.
New Britain is a city in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. It is located approximately 9 miles (14km) southwest of Hartford. According to 2010 Census, the population of the city is 73,206.
The city's official nickname is the "Hardware City" because of its history as a manufacturing center and as the headquarters of Stanley Black & Decker. Because of its large Polish population, the city is often playfully referred to as "New Britski."
History
New Britain was settled in 1687 and then was incorporated as a new parish under the name New Britain Society in 1754. Chartered in 1850 as a township and in 1871 as a city, New Britain had separated from the nearby town of Farmington, Connecticut. A consolidation charter was adopted in 1905.
During the early part of the 20th century, New Britain was known as the "Hardware Capital of the World", as well as "Hardware City". Major manufacturers, such as The Stanley Works, the P&F Corbin Company (later Corbin Locks), and North & Judd, were headquartered in the city.
New Britain was a minor Britishright wingpolitical party founded by Dennis Delderfield in 1976. The party was de-registered in November 2008.
Founding
It was led from its creation by Dennis Delderfield, a former Common Councilman of the City of London and editor of the City of London & Dockland Times. In 1980, the party absorbed the anti-immigrationUnited Country Party, which had been chaired by TV astronomer Patrick Moore. Around this time it also absorbed a small anti-devolution group called the Keep Britain United Party. This party had contested a single seat (Carmarthen) in the 1979 general election.
Positions
New Britain was described as an "avowedly racist party" by The Observer. It campaigned for the return of capital punishment, and was supported by the Christian Affirmation Campaign, a right-wing traditionalist movement opposed to what it saw as the World Council of Churches' support for Communist regimes in Africa. As a white nationalist party, it supported Apartheid and Rhodesia, and Delderfield signed a letter in 2000 that argued that "suburb after suburb and town after town across the land have been taken over by Asians, Africans and Afro-Caribbeans.... In the not too distant future they will have direct control in many areas." A 1977 election leaflet stated that "coloured immigration to this country must stop completely and immediately."
New Britain was a historical term of limited usage, referring in its day to the poorly mapped lands north of 17th-century New France. The name applied primarily to today's Nunavik and Labrador interiors, though in the 18th century this had grown to include all of the mainland shores of Hudson Bay and James Bay north of The Canadas. The district would come to be loosely divided into the territories of New South Wales, New North Wales and Labrador. The name Labrador predates mention of the other names by more than a century.
Early exploration
In 1612 Welsh captain Thomas Button wintered on the shores of Hudson Bay, at the mouth of the river he named the Nelson. He dubbed his encampment Port Nelson, and "the whole of the western shore New Wales." Seven years later in 1619 Captain Jens Munk of Denmark would winter nearby at the mouth of the Churchill, and named those environs Nova Denmark or New Denmark.
The region would again be visited twelve years later in 1631 by Captains Thomas James and Luke Foxe. Supposedly Captain Foxe, upon discovering a cross erected by Button at Port Nelson, christened the shore north of the Nelson River as New North Wales, and all the lands south as New South Wales. Another account attributes the event to Captain James, while crediting Foxe with having bestowed upon the region the since-forgotten label of New Yorkshire.
New Britain is a station along the SEPTALansdale/Doylestown Line. It is located at Tamenend & Matthews Avenues. On December 18, 2011, weekend service was discontinued at this station due to low ridership. In the fall of 2012, New Britain was added back to the weekend schedule as a flag stop. The station continues to have full service on weekdays. In FY 2013, the station had a weekday average of 51 boardings and 58 alightings.

An initial diversionary attack was carried out on the Arawe Peninsula on they south side of the island by Task Force "Director," a sub division sized mix of US Army units, led by the 112th Cavalry and landed by US Marine amphibious tractor forces. The main attack on Cape Glouster followed on December 25th, led by the 1st Marine Division, supported by US and Australian Naval and Air Forces. After a week of intense jungle fighting, including numerous Japanese air and ground force counterattacks, the Marines with tank support, secured it's main objective, the Cape Gloucester Airdrome. You'll see jungle fighting in truly unbelievable terrain.. Afterwords, the Marines continued to push eastwards on New Britain through April, when they were relieved by the Army's 40th Division, which in turn was relieved by the 5th Australian Division. By the end of the War, enemy forces were bottled up on the Eastern end of New Britain and once mighty Rabaul was cut off and reduced to a virtual prison for the starving Japanese.
