About Lordship, Connecticut

Lordship is a waterfront neighborhood of 2,954 people in the town of Stratford, on Long Island Sound. Salt marshes once cut it off as an island, and later fill joined it to the rest of Stratford as a peninsula. Today Sikorsky Memorial Airport lies to its north, and only two roads, both part of Route 113, lead in.

The Paugussetts lived here first, with a large village at Frash Pond and smaller camps at Stratford Point and Indian Well. When English settlers came in 1639, they found the Paugussetts already planting corn here, so little land had to be cleared. The settlers called the place Great Neck and farmed it together as a common field, then walked back each night to the palisade fort on Academy Hill.

  • Named for a salt meadowRichard Mills built the first farmhouse on Great Neck, at its western end near today's Second Avenue, and in 1650 he sold his estate to Captain Joseph Hawley and moved away. Stratford land deeds from 1650 to 1660 call the salt meadow there Mills' Lordship. The name plainly came from Mills or his family, but the 1886 town history admits that nobody knows what it meant.
  • A diked farm by 1818Around 1815 Captain Samuel C. Nicoll diked the meadows of the Lordship farm, and the farmhouse and barns followed in 1818. The farm kept the old Lordship name and handed it down to the whole neighborhood.
  • A cast-iron light from 1881Stratford Point has held a lighthouse and a keeper's house since 1821. The tower that stands there now went up in 1881, and it was the first cone-shaped, prefabricated lighthouse of cast iron built in Connecticut and among the earliest anywhere in the country. Stratford Point Lighthouse is listed on the National Register.
  • Gustave Whitehead's flight trialsIn the early 1900s, Gustave Whitehead reportedly brought some of his early powered flying machines out to Lordship, testing them over its windy stretches of sand.
