About Stonington, Connecticut
Stonington, a New London County town of 18,335 people, sits on Long Island Sound, where its land runs from the Mystic River to the Pawcatuck. The Pequot knew this land as Paquatuck and Mistack. In 1649 William Chesebrough, a blacksmith from Rehoboth, built a home at Wequetequock Cove, and Thomas Stanton opened a trading house at Pawcatuck. Connecticut's leaders feared a smith would repair guns for the Indians, so in March 1651 Chesebrough had to answer to the General Court at Hartford, which let him stay.
Massachusetts called the settlement Southerton in 1658, and it passed to Connecticut in 1662 under the colony's royal charter. After a year as Mistick, it took the name Stonington, the "stony town," in 1666. From the 1790s the harbor sent out sealing ships, and on November 16, 1820, Nathaniel Palmer, a young captain sailing with a Stonington fleet led by Benjamin Pendleton, sighted the Antarctic land later called Palmer Land. Stonington became a port of entry in 1842, and Portuguese families from the Azores arrived on its whaling vessels. Today the town keeps the last commercial fishing fleet in Connecticut.
“They kill'd a goose, they kill'd a hen, Three hogs they wounded in a pen.”
- The frigate Rose in 1775In August 1775 the British frigate Rose came after cattle that Block Island had sent to Stonington to keep them out of British hands. Musket-bearing men from Long Point, along with militiamen from the Road district, stopped her boats from coming ashore. Her guns struck nearly every house in town, yet the only person hurt on shore was Jonathan Weaver Jr., a musician.
- Three days of British gunsOn August 9, 1814, four warships under Sir Thomas Hardy appeared off Stonington Point and demanded the town's surrender. The selectmen refused. For three days the squadron shelled the town, and its defenders fired back with two 18-pounder cannons, aided by six volunteers who came on foot from Mystic. After losing several killed and wounded, the British left on August 12. Both cannons now stand beside a granite obelisk in Cannon Square.
- America's oldest lighthouse museumThe stone Stonington Harbor Lighthouse went up at the tip of Stonington Point in 1840, built in part from the stones of an earlier light that erosion had claimed. Its lamp went dark in 1889, and in 1925 the Stonington Historical Society opened it as a museum, the oldest lighthouse museum in America.
- Mystic Seaport since 1929The Greenman brothers built ships on the Stonington side of the Mystic River from the 1840s to the 1890s. Their yard became Mystic Seaport in 1929, now the largest maritime museum in the country. In 1941 the museum took in the Charles W. Morgan, a New Bedford whaler of 1841 and the world's oldest surviving merchant vessel.
