About Simsbury, Connecticut
Simsbury is a town of 24,517 people in Hartford County, in the Farmington River valley below Talcott Mountain. The Massaco, a Wappinger band, lived here first, and for years settlers from Windsor came only to farm and cut timber. Captain Aaron Cook put up the first house at Terry's Plain around 1660. John Case, Joshua Holcomb and Thomas Barber then asked the General Court to make Massaco a town, and on May 12, 1670, it agreed, naming Connecticut's 21st town Simmsbury.
Five years later King Philip's War reached this frontier settlement. On October 14, 1675, the court told the settlers to leave for Windsor, so about forty families buried what they owned and went. In March 1676 their empty houses were burned. Most came back in the spring of 1677 and started again along Hop Meadow, where Barber built the first gristmill, sawmill and meetinghouse. Within twelve years, by 1689, settlers had fenced the meadows along each bank into two common fields about seven miles long.
“In the War of the Revolution, few, if any, of the towns of the State furnished a larger number of enlisted men than Simsbury.”
- America's first safety fuseSafety fuse, a slow-burning cord used in blasting, was first made in America at East Weatogue in 1836. In 1839 Joseph Toy came from Cornwall to work at the factory. When fire destroyed that plant, the business moved into Simsbury village as Toy, Bickford and Company. The work stayed dangerous, and on December 20, 1859, the factory blew up, killing seven women and one man. The company, now Ensign-Bickford, still keeps its headquarters in town.
- From Ticonderoga to tavernDavid Phelps built a house on Hopmeadow Street in 1711, and his son Elisha made it larger in 1771. In 1775 Elisha and his brother Noah helped take Fort Ticonderoga. From 1786 to 1849 three generations of the family ran the house as an inn for travelers arriving by horse, stagecoach and canal boat. The Capt. Elisha Phelps House joined the National Register in 1972 and is now the Phelps Tavern Museum.
- Carpet looms at TariffvilleWhere the Farmington cuts through the ridge, the Tariff Manufacturing Company built a carpet mill and named itself for the Tariff Act of 1824. By 1827 H. K. Knight was running the company, and its looms turned out ingrain carpets and shawls. Four years later it employed 95 male weavers, many from overseas.
- Captured and carried to CanadaIn 1707 Daniel Hayes, twenty-two years old, was seized and taken to Canada, a trip of thirty days with him tied to saplings each night. Forced to run the gauntlet, he ducked into a wigwam, and the woman there, who had lost a husband and son to war, adopted him. Later he was sold to a Frenchman who put him to work weaving. Hayes earned his freedom after two years, came home to Simsbury and farmed.
- A string of town hallsThe Congregational church refused to hold town meetings in its new building, so in 1839 Simsbury built the Simsbury Townhouse, which served as town hall until 1931. In 1932 Antoinette Eno Wood, daughter of Simsbury native Amos Eno, gave the town Eno Memorial Hall, with an auditorium for about 600, and the offices stayed there until 1969. That year the town bought the Simsbury Bank and Trust Company Building, which held the town offices into the 1980s.
