About Roxbury, Connecticut
Roxbury is a town of 2,260 people in Litchfield County, on the Shepaug River. Its Native name, Shepaug, is a Mahican word for "rocky water." English settlers arrived about 1713, when this hill country was part of Woodbury, and the parish known as Shippauge became a church society of its own in 1743 under the name Roxbury. A year later it called Thomas Canfield as its minister.
The parish wanted full independence, so in 1790 it hired lawyers to push its petition to become a town, and in October 1796 Roxbury was finally set off from Woodbury. The first settlement stood on a hilltop to the southeast, but people began building in today's center in the 1780s. In 1795 the Congregational church came down the hill, and the Episcopal church did the same in 1807. The present Congregational church on Church Street went up in 1838.
“It was a dark, damp, heavily wooded, dismal place, and hence its name.”
- Silver hunters on Mine HillOwners sued over Mine Hill from 1724, and around 1750 Hurlbut and Hawley dug for silver. In the 1760s the Bronsons leased most of it to Sampson Simson, Myer Myers and a partner, but no one got rich. Its wealth was spathic iron, a rare steel ore. The Shepaug Spathic Iron and Steel Company came in 1865, building furnaces and a workers' village, Chalybes, named by Hartford's Rev. Dr. Bushnell for the Greek for steel. The works closed in 1905.
- Seth Warner comes homeBorn in Roxbury parish in 1743, Seth Warner became one of Ethan Allen's best known Green Mountain Boys captains. In May 1775 he captured Crown Point with cousin Remember Baker, also from Roxbury. Warner died on his farm in 1784 and lay in the Old Burying Ground.
- Tophet Hollow and Hedgehog SwampThe Woodbury historian walked these hills and recorded their old names. Tophet Hollow is a long ravine west of Good Hill, and Gamaliel Den is a cave in the rocks of Center Hill. Hop Brook was named for the wild hops that once crowded its banks. Hedgehog Swamp, east of Warner's Mills, supposedly took its name from a fight between a dog and a porcupine, though he warned readers to doubt that story.
- Farms saved since 1970In 1970 a retired headmaster, a photographer and a dairy farmer started the Roxbury Land Trust to protect Roxbury's farms, woods and streams. The first gift arrived in 1974: 56 acres on Squire Road from Robert and Ruth Sherman, today the Brian E. Tierney Nature Preserve. The trust began a Save Our Farms campaign in 2001, and by 2004 the campaign had brought in $7.1 million to protect 800 acres of farmland.
- David Hare's Good Hill studioDavid Hare, the Surrealist sculptor and photographer, came to Roxbury in his youth and made color photographs here. His house and studio on Good Hill Road, the Ezekial Beardsley-David Hare House and Studio, joined the National Register in 2025.
