About Glastonbury, Connecticut
Glastonbury is a town of 35,159 people in Hartford County, on the east bank of the Connecticut River. In 1636 the first 30 families came to Pyaug, land on the river's east side that was part of Wethersfield. Each early farm was a long strip reaching from the river meadows three miles back into the woods, and the six-rod road laid across those strips became Main Street. The ferry to what is now Rocky Hill started running in 1655, years before either town was formed, and it still crosses the river today.
In 1690, 24 landowners on the east side asked the General Court to let them form their own town. Their meetinghouse was finished in 1693, and no other town in the colony had yet been created by splitting off from an existing one. The new town was called Glassenbury, after Glastonbury in England. It became Glastenbury in 1785, and in 1870 the town voted to adopt the English spelling.
“And what a street it is, the pride of every resident and the admiration of every visitor!”
- The Smith sisters' cowsAbby and Julia Evelina Smith, who worked to end slavery and win rights for women, lived in the house now called the Kimberly Mansion. In 1873 the town raised the taxes on their farm, and the sisters refused to pay while they had no vote. Officials auctioned their cows, but the sisters bought them back, sued the town and won. Their fight made women's suffrage a national story. The house became a National Historic Landmark in 1974.
- The blast at Cotton HollowGunpowder was made in the deep valley of Cotton Hollow, on Roaring Brook, during the Revolution. On August 23, 1777, the mill exploded, killing George Stocking and three of his sons, George, Hezekiah and Nathaniel. A year later Eunice, his widow, asked the General Assembly to drop all four from the town's tax list, and it agreed. Cotton mills later filled the hollow, and Cotton Hollow Preserve still holds the ruins of one from 1814.
- The Peach KingJ. H. Hale planted his first acre of orchard in 1866 and bred a peach that could survive New England winters and resist disease. He shipped his fruit to markets across the country, and by 1900 his orchards covered more than 1,200 acres. Hale never went past grade school, yet he started the push that founded Storrs Agricultural College, now the University of Connecticut.
- Birthplace of Gideon WellesCaptain Samuel Welles built a house for his son in 1783, and people called it the grandest in Glastonbury. Gideon Welles, who served as Lincoln's Secretary of the Navy, was born there in 1802. In 1935 a group that grew into the Glastonbury Historical Society saved the house from being torn down, and in 1936 it was moved a short distance. It joined the National Register in 1970.
- Shaving soap since 1849James B. Williams worked out a shaving soap formula in his Manchester drugstore, then moved the business to Glastonbury in 1849. His brother William Stuart Williams joined him, and the company later made Williams' Lectric Shave and Aqua Velva. In the 1920s it employed about 300 people, more than any other business in town, and its old factory buildings now hold homes.
