Discover Manchester

The recorded history of Manchester begins with the camping grounds of the Podunk, a small band of Native Americans. Colonists settled the area around 1673, some 40 years after Thomas Hooker led Puritans from Massachusetts Bay to found Hartford. The community was then known as Orford Parish, a name still found on its memorial to Revolutionary War soldiers. It was part of Hartford, then of East Hartford after 1783, until it became a separate town in 1823. Its many rivers and brooks powered paper, lumber and textile mills, and it soon became an industrial center.

More about Manchester

The Pitkin Glassworks, which operated from 1783 to 1830, was the first successful glassworks in Connecticut. Its owner, Captain Richard Pitkin, received a 25-year monopoly on glass as a reward for supplying gunpowder to the Continental Army, and its ruins are preserved by the town's historical society. The E.E. Hilliard Company woolen mills, founded around 1780 by Aaron Buckland and later sold to the Hilliard family, are the oldest woolen mill site in the country. In 1838 the Cheney family started what became the world's largest silk mill. The Cheneys eventually employed a quarter of the town's residents and actively recruited immigrants for their mills, and the mills, the owners' houses and the workers' homes now form the Cheney Brothers Historic District, a National Historic Landmark.
