About Haddam, Connecticut

Haddam is a town of 8,452 people in Middlesex County, and the Connecticut River runs straight through the middle of it, which no other town in the state can say. The English knew this place as the Land of Thirty Mile Island. In 1662 they bought about 104 square miles on both banks from the Wangunk people for 30 coats. Settlers from Hartford, Wethersfield and Windsor moved in, and in October 1668 the plantation became a town called Hadham, after Much Hadham and Little Hadham in Hertfordshire. The town split along the river in 1734, and its east side became East Haddam.

For two centuries the river carried Haddam's living. In 1762 Deacon Ezra Brainerd began cutting granite on Haddam Neck, and by 1836 about 150 men worked the quarries, sending stone by boat as far as Savannah and New Orleans. Fishermen netted shad every spring, and in 1802 a single pull of the net at the Pier brought in about 2,300 fish. In 1807 the town also shipped three thousand cords of wood downriver.

“The landscape is rugged and mountainous, but the wealthy growth of trees which covers the surface, even to the mountain ridges, gives it a most romantic and charming aspect.”
Industrial review of Connecticut, 1884
  • Higganum Landing's shipyardsA bend in the river gave Higganum a natural harbor. A sloop was launched there as early as 1754, and between 1760 and 1870 builders at the landing turned out more than 150 vessels. Nine Cape Cod, Georgian and Federal houses still stand there, built between the late 1700s and the middle of the 1800s, and the Higganum Landing Historic District joined the National Register in 2018.
  • The planters' hoeDaniel and Hezekiah Scovil began making hoes at Higganum in 1844, using the power of the falls where three brooks join to form the Higganum River. Their planter's hoe was made for the cotton states. By 1884 the nearby Higganum Manufacturing Company was turning out plows in more than 400 kinds and sizes, and two-thirds of its sales went overseas.
  • The flood of October 4, 1869Three days of steady rain broke a reservoir above Higganum. The water roared down Candlewood Hill Brook and rolled boulders into the center of the village. It picked up the two-story webbing mill and carried it over the falls, where the mill ripped a corner off the cotton mill and broke apart at the bottom.
  • A house begun about 1720James Hazelton, one of the early settlers, started his house on Hayden Hill Road about 1720, and it was widened about 1780. The Hazelton and Hayden families kept it into the late 20th century. It is among the oldest buildings in town, and the James Hazelton House joined the National Register in 1988.
  • Shopboard RockHalf a mile above Higganum stands a bare slope of rock about 60 feet high. Local tradition holds that a tailor met a customer there and cut out a suit of clothes on its face. The name Shopboard Rock was already in the town records by 1713.
