Discover East Hartford
When Europeans learned of the Connecticut Valley around 1631, it was home to the River Tribes, small bands living along the Great River and its tributaries. The Podunks held the land now in East Hartford and South Windsor and, by differing estimates, numbered sixty to two hundred bowmen, governed by the sachems Waginacut and Arramamet. The land north of the Hockanum River was generally called Podunk and that to the south Hockanum. In 1659 Thomas Burnham bought the tract covering today's South Windsor and East Hartford from Tantinomo, chief sachem of the Podunks, and later willed it to his nine children. The land had been part of Hartford, founded in 1635, which then included today's East Hartford, Manchester, Bolton, Vernon and West Hartford.
More about East Hartford
During the Revolution, French troops under the comte de Rochambeau camped twice in the town, before and after helping Washington defeat Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781. East Hartford was incorporated as a separate town in October 1783, and Manchester, then Orford Parish, separated from it in 1823. From the late 19th century residents formed tax districts for fire protection, lighting and sanitation, and on June 10, 1929, voters adopted a new charter that abolished them in favor of a town council. The town's economy was long agricultural, with tobacco the main crop, until 1929, when Frederick Rentschler moved Pratt and Whitney's production from Hartford to an 1,100-acre site in East Hartford. Its airport, Rentschler Field, operated from 1931 to 1999. Sources Wikipedia: East Hartford, Connecticut
