History

Norwich was founded in 1658 by settlers from Old Saybrook led by Major John Mason and Reverend James Fitch. Settlement was primarily in the three-mile (5-km) area around the Norwichtown Green. They purchased the land that would become Norwich from the local Native American Mohegan Tribe. The 69 founding families soon divided up the land in the Norwichtown vicinity for farms and businesses. In 1668, a wharf was established at Yantic Cove.
