Griswold CT Community Profile & History
Griswold, Connecticut is a small town in eastern Connecticut. Griswold was founded in 1815. As border disputes continued between Griswold, Preston, and Voluntown for several decades, it wasn't until 1872 that the final boundaries of Griswold were officially recognized. A number of small villages and hamlets still exist within the town's borders.
Jewett City is located on the western side of town near the Pachaug and Quinnebaug Rivers and houses the Griswold Town Hall. The name "Jewett City" came from Eliezer Jewett, who erected the first sawmill and grist mill. Prior to this development, the village was known as Pachaug City.
Hopeville, now part of the Connecticut Forest Park service, was once a thriving village. The village was heavily taxed in 1863 and by 1870 suffered from a business slump. Hopeville's mill, church, and homes were lost in a series of fires in the 1880's and 1890's.
Glasgo, located just north of the North Stonington border, was the location in the 1800's of Isaac Glasgo's profitable business. Well known for his fine craft of tools, Glasgo's business thrived until his heritage became an issue. Descendant of Native American and African American heritage, jealousy over his wealth and craft forced him into near bankruptcy. Today, Glasgo is a small village with the remnants of an old mill and dam.
Pachaug, located near the center of Griswold, was once known as Blue Pachaug. Today the village is home to a church, grange hall, fire department, and sand & gravel company.
