Pitch pines were enormously important in early colonial history. Also called "candlewood", the knots were burned for lighting, as candles were scarce and the whale oil business was well in the future. Tar kilns were used to recover pitch for waterproofing and making turpentine. Some 95% of Connecticut's habitat has been lost.
Here is an article about the fascinating Colonial history of the tree and pitch products.
