About Columbia, Connecticut
Columbia is a town of 5,272 people in Tolland County, Connecticut. It began in 1716 as a second church society inside Lebanon, called the North Parish or Lebanon Crank, and in 1720 its Congregational church was organized, with Samuel Smith ordained as pastor that same day. In May 1804 the parish was set off from Lebanon as a town of its own and took the patriotic name Columbia, after the national symbol.
Columbia stayed mostly a farming town, but its streams powered a few small trades. It once turned out cheap woolen hats and some fur hats, and a cotton mill at Hop River ran for more than forty years; by 1883, as the Hop River Warp Manufacturing Company, it was the town's chief industry, and about 800 people lived here. In 1865 Willimantic's American Linen Company flooded meadowland to hold water for its mills, creating what is now Columbia Lake. By 1907 the population was 655, a paper mill ran at Hop River, and mail arrived by wagon twice a day at three post offices.
“Mr. Brockway, the pastor of the church, started off with his long gun and deacons and parishioners to assist in doing battle with the enemy.”
- The school that became DartmouthEleazar Wheelock became Lebanon Crank's pastor in 1735, and in December 1743 he took the Mohegan scholar Samson Occom into his home school. Occom did so well that Wheelock opened a school on land given by Joshua Moor of Mansfield, and its first pupils, two Lenape boys, came in 1754. By 1764 about 30 students, half Native and half English, played on the green. The school later followed Wheelock to Hanover, New Hampshire, and became Dartmouth College.
- A meetinghouse painted sky blueIn 1748 the parish chose cedar clapboards for the south side and ends of its meetinghouse and chestnut for the back, and those boards lasted until the building came down in 1832. With only 170 taxpayers, the parish voted in December 1753 to paint it "sky collour" and lay stone around it.
- A bell rung for 36 yearsSubscribers paid $150 for a steeple and bell in 1792. David Huntington rang that bell at noon and again at nine in the evening, and he kept the job for 36 years, ending only with his death in 1828.
- The parish in the RevolutionAt least 64 men of the parish served in the Revolution, and 14 of them died. During the war, General Rochambeau's officers stayed at the Landmark Inn on the green as they mapped out the French army's march from Newport, Rhode Island, to Yorktown, Virginia.
- Two white houses in 1816A man who remembered Columbia in 1816 told the church's 150th anniversary gathering in 1866 that most houses then were unpainted and only two were white. No house or church in town had a stove, so the meetinghouse went unheated, and families came to services on horseback.
