Newtown CT

Prior to the arrival of Europeans this town area was known as Quanneapague and was owned by the Pohtatuck Indians. It was purchased from them in 1705, and just 3 years later a group of over 30 Englishmen petitioned to settle the area north of the town of Stratford. The town would officially be incorporated in 1711 under the auspices of these petition proprietors. The gentlemen who settled the town were all between 25-35 and were all farmers from families of farmers.

The appeal of this land was its arability, and as a result each man chose to set their 4 acres near the main street running through town. This ensured that most of the arable land remained available for farming. These plots were intended to be for the homes of the farmers, with each man also being granted a parcel for farming and grazing. Each man would wind up with approximately 32 acres for use for their agricultural needs. During the Revolutionary War Newtown, CT shared a decidedly Tory sentiment which wouldn’t change for some time after the war was lost. Industries began springing up in the 19th century, taking advantage of the waterpower available by building along the rivers. This would lead to a long period of development with Irish and other immigrants moving into town to take advantage of the work available. One of the most notable pieces of Newtown, CT history was the creation of the game Scrabble by one of their residents. Originally called Criss-Crosswards the new game closely resembles its original creators’ vision, though rights to it would be bought by a lawyer in town prior to it becoming famous. Today the area is home to over 28,000 proud American citizens, many of whom take advantage of the cleaning services offered by Miss Maid.
