About Kent, Connecticut
Kent is a town of 3,019 people in Litchfield County, on the New York line, and the Housatonic River splits it in two. The colony sold the township before anyone lived here, auctioning its shares at the court house in Windham in 1738, the same year the Assembly named it Kent. A buyer's deed held only after he had put up a house no smaller than eighteen feet on a side and cleared six acres, and the first settlers came in 1739.
Those settlers first worshiped in an upstairs room of Daniel Comstock's building, which served as his home and his store. Eleven men organized the church in 1741, and in April 1742, with the frame of the first meetinghouse finished, the town voted six gallons of rum for the raising. That meetinghouse stood in Flanders, the first center, until the 1840s, when a railroad stop opened farther south and business shifted to where the village stands now.
“We are very glad that we are all united in one covenant chain; we are resolved that it shall not rust, and will therefore wind it with beaver skins.”
- Scatacook on the HousatonicThe Schaghticoke came before the town. From a mountain west of the river, the Pequot leader Gideon Mauwehu spotted a valley thick with fish and game, so he settled his family in it, and others followed. Moravian missionaries came in 1742 and baptized him and over a hundred of his followers. After settlers took almost all their planting grounds, the colony reserved about two hundred acres in 1752. Today the state holds the reservation, about 400 acres, in trust.
- Iron for ironclad shipsIn 1826 a blast furnace rose at the Bulls Bridge falls, employing probably 200 men there and on the roads. Teams brought ore fifteen miles from Clove in Dutchess County, and carts took the pig iron to Poughkeepsie at $5 a ton. Its Civil War iron went into ironclads, earning it the name Monitor Iron Works. By 1897 the furnace was a ruin, and the local school had shrunk from about sixty children to twelve.
- A bridge since 1760In 1760 Jacob Bull and his son Isaac put up the first bridge where the river runs narrowest, letting iron from Bull's foundry cross, and George Washington passed over the river close by in 1781. The covered bridge that stands on the site today dates from 1842, and its sides are framed in a Town lattice truss. It is one of only two covered bridges in Connecticut still open to cars, and Bull's Bridge joined the National Register in 1972.
- Pig iron until 1892In 1826 the Kent Iron Furnace began making iron on a rise above the river. Its 32-foot stack, built of rough granite blocks without mortar, was converted to a hot blast furnace in 1846 and made larger in 1870, and railroads took most of its iron. It went out of blast for the last time in 1892, and by 1898 tobacco was drying in its old buildings.
- Captain Beardsley's saltboxIn 1781 Josiah Beardsley handed his farm to his son Philo, a militia captain, with a saltbox house already on it. The Capt. Philo Beardsley House still keeps its central chimney, oak floorboards and paneled parlor.
