Cornwall, Connecticut is a small town in northeastern Connecticut. First settled in 1738, Cornwall lacked a population center for many years as early residents established homesteads on patches of fertile land scattered throughout the township. Several villages developed in Cornwall, among them the still-extant population centers of West Cornwall, Cornwall Bridge, and Cornwall Village. Incorporated in 1740, the town remained a small farming community through about 1810, when Connecticut agriculture entered a protracted decline concurrent with the development of the western frontier and many outlying farmsteads were abandoned. Industry and small-scale manufacture began to take the place of farming as the base of Cornwall's economy, and several mills, two blast furnaces, and a plant for processing lime were established by the mid-19th century. The Housatonic Railroad reached Cornwall in the early 1840s, facilitating trade and opening Cornwall to the national market. As industry shifted from waterpower and firewood to coal and then electricity as prime energy sources, however, rural industry in Cornwall declined. Along with the whole of the Litchfield Hills region, Cornwall emerged as a vacationland in the decades following the Civil War. Cornwall exemplified the picturesque scenery and rural way of life prized by those seeking a respite from city life. By the 1880s, Cornwall had become a place for summer visiting by people from New York and other cities. The town remains host to a substantial summer population to this day, though Cornwall has in recent decades emerged as a primarily residential rural community. With vast tracts of undeveloped land preserved by the state, Cornwall offers an abundance of opportunities for outdoor recreation and scenic drives today. A historic town center bespeaks the rich cultural legacy of a history spanning nearly 300 years. Just 100 miles from New York City, Cornwall offers the beauty and charm of New England's countryside in close proximity to major urban areas.
