About Madison, Connecticut
Madison is a town of 17,691 people in New Haven County. It lies on Long Island Sound, with the East River on one side and the Hammonasset River on the other. English settlers arrived in 1641, and for decades this land was simply the eastern farms of Guilford. By 1672 families living close to the Hammonasset found it far easier to travel to Killingworth's meeting house than to reach Guilford's. Guilford helped these East Farmers build a sawmill and a grain mill in 1699, the General Assembly made East Guilford a society of its own in 1703, and in 1705 a meeting house rose on the ground that became the green.
The parish broke away from Guilford in 1826 and took the name of President James Madison. Capt. Frederick Lee, who had led a revenue cutter during the War of 1812, presided over the first town meeting, and an 1897 history credits him with choosing the name. Trains reached Madison in 1852. By 1892 cottages and hotels close to the shore were full of summer visitors. In 1919 the state purchased 499 acres, the start of Hammonasset Beach State Park, and the next summer more than 75,000 people came.
- The last British raid, 1782In 1782 British raiders came ashore near East Wharf, the final raid on this part of the coast. Local militia forced them back to their boats, but Captain Phineas Meigs died in the fight. Meigs had owned the Meigs-Bishop House. Janna Meigs started it about 1690, and by about 1725 it had grown into a saltbox. People think it is Madison's second oldest house.
- Whitefish in the fieldsStarting in the summer of 1798, farmers fertilized their land by plowing in whitefish, ten to fifteen thousand fish on every acre. In rocky North Madison, families burned charcoal and hauled it to New Haven and Middletown.
- Ships on the shoreShipbuilding was the leading business along the shore. Ichabod Lee Scranton built more than twenty vessels and kept ownership of them. The Miner family ran a shipyard for many years, but in June 1890 fire swept through it and burned two four-masted schooners that were still on the stocks.
- Daniel Hand's academyDaniel Hand was born in Madison in 1801 and became a businessman and abolitionist. He created a large fund to educate African Americans in the South, and he paid for a brick academy in his hometown, which he presented to Madison on November 22, 1884. Daniel Hand High School grew out of that gift.
- Houses from the 1600sDeacon John Grave built his saltbox east of the green in 1681, and his family kept it for 300 years. When it faced demolition, a foundation formed in 1983 to rescue it, and it's now a museum. About 1690 Jonathan Murray, a Scot who reached the New Haven Colony in 1685, built a house on today's Scotland Road. The Murray family owned it until 1800, and it went without electricity or plumbing until 1956.
