Andover CT Community Profile & History
Andover, Connecticut is a small New England town of approximately 3,000 residents nestled in the hills of Tolland County in Northeastern Connecticut. First incorporated in 1848, Andover was established from lands acquired from the neighboring towns of Hebron and Coventry.
Boasting a central location not far from the state capital in Hartford, Andover maintains a rustic small-town ambience amidst a breathtaking natural landscape. Several small rivers and streams flow through the town, including the Hop River, Burnap Brook, Staddle Brook, and the Skungamaug River. The Bear Swamp Brook runs through the Nathan Hale State Forest, located in the northeast corner of Andover. The State owned Bishop's Conservation Area is located in the southwest corner of town and includes the 53 acre Bishop Swamp (Jurovaty) Pond. The Doris Chamberlain Nature preserve, which features small ponds and walking trails, is located on Route 316 near School Road.
Andover's rural character remains unspoiled, with farmlands, stone walls and historic homes dotting the landscape. The original Town Hall of 1893 is still visible from Route 6 near the intersection with Route 316. The Old Town Hall building now houses the town museum, presently operated by the Historical Society of Andover. The new Town Office building is located on School Road between the town's firehouse and the elementary School.
Passing through Andover is the Hop River State Park Trail, a 6-mile gravel and compact earth trail that is part of the East Coast Greenway. It connects the Bolton portion of the trail way system with the Columbia portion at the town lines. The trail runs parallel to Route 6, providing residents with opportunities for walking, bicycling and equestrian uses.
