History
Brief: |
This area was part of the Western Lands (Goshen, Colebrook, Kent, Hartland, Norfolk, Canaan, Cornwall, Salisbury, Sharon, Torrington, Barkhamsted, Harwinton, Winchester and New Hartford) made over to Hartford and Windsor in 1686 to save them from being taken by the Royal Gov. Andros. The first settlers established themselves at Waramaug�s Reserve about 1731. In 1737 the Court granted both town and Parish privileges to Harwinton. Town vital records begin 1730. Barbour collection records cover 1737-1854. |
