The town of Windsor, located just north of Hartford, was home to the first English settlement in the entire state, according to the town's historical society.
The first English settlers arrived on September 26, 1633 according to the town, making today the 390th anniversary of the event.

The town has seen its share of historical events since then, including witch trials, a statue removal, and a friendly debate with Wethersfield as to which town gets to truly call itself "the first in Connecticut."
Prior occupants of Connecticut before the English settled here include the Dutch and various Native American tribes.
