Description

Even as evidence of Native American habitation in the area dates back to earlier period, Glastonbury was once first settled by the English in 1636. Positioned around the Connecticut River from its mother settlement of Wethersfield, Glastonbury became a shipbuilding center and later a manufacturer of gunpowder, ship anchors, cotton products, soap, and aircraft. Probably the most largest towns by area in the state, its wealthy soil led to the establishment of extensive orchards and a big poultry business. As of late, Glastonbury is a prosperous residential community, boasting over 150 homes built prior to the 19th century. The town may be home to the oldest continually operating ferry in the nationĀ­, the Glastonbury-Rocky Hill Ferry, which was once established in 1655.
