From Publisher:

New Milford is located in western Connecticut, and an ideal example of small-town New England life.

The original inhabitants of the area were the Potatuck; at the beginning of the 18th century, the land that later became New Milford was purchased from the indigenous people, and the first settler, John Noble, arrived from Massachusetts to build his home in 1707. As the centuries progressed, so did the town, and New Milford became a business center with many mills, shops, taverns, and other services. In stunning images and with a clear narrative, New Milford traces the history not only of the town itself, but also of many of the families whose names are an integral part of the community, including the Bostwicks, the Heacocks, and the Kings. The book follows the development of the town--its industry, such as New Milford Pottery, its education facilities, such as Canterbury School, and its familiar landmarks, such as the Wayside Inn.
