Tripping on Travel: East Killingly, Connecticut

In this episode, I drive west on Rt 101 from the Rhode Island border and into East Killingly, Connecticut. According to the Killingly Historical and Geneological Society, during the 1830’s, Killingly was the largest producer of cotton goods in Connecticut. In 1653, John Winthrop obtained a grant of a large tract of land formerly held by the Quinebaug Indian tribe and known as the Quinebaug (Long Pond) Country. Following this, the town was settled in 1700, incorporated in 1708, the forty-second town established in Connecticut. The selection of a name for the town was referred to Governor Saltonstall, whose ancestral manorial possessions lay in Killanslie and Pontefract, Yorkshire, hence “Killingly,” formerly spelled Kellingly, was taken from this part of England.
