History

The frogs that still lived were heading to the Willimantic River in search of water. To commemorate the incident, the town has erected a [http://www.kurumi.com/roads/ct/br-frog.html Frog Bridge] featuring giant frog sculptures atop spools of thread. When morning arrived, the armed villagers marched in the direction of the noise only to discover that the nearby pond had dried up, and the area was littered with hundreds of dead bullfrogs. The thread spools are included in the bridge's design because Willimantic was once known as “Thread City.” The American Thread Company had a mill on the banks of the Willimantic River, and was at one time the largest employer in the state as well as one of the largest producers of thread in the world. Willimantic is best known for its legend,[http://www.curbstone.org/index.cfm?webpage=102 "The Battle of Frog Pond"].
