A great New England town, located between New Haven and Hartford, as well as New York City and Boston, and home to more than 45,000 residents.

Wallingford was established on October 10, 1667, when the Connecticut General Assembly authorized the “making of a village on the east river” to 38 planters and freemen. The “long highway” located on the ridge of the hill above the sandy plain along the Quinnipiac River is the present Main Street in Wallingford. On May 12, 1670, Wallingford was incorporated and about 126 people settled in the town. Six acre lots were set out and by the year 1675 40 houses stretched along today’s Main Street. In 1775 and again in 1789, George Washington passed through Wallingford.
