Durham, Connecticut is a small town on the Coginchaug River in central Connecticut. First settled by the Seward family in 1699, Durham was originally known as Coginchaug, the Indian name now given to the river, which means “Long Swamp”. In 1704 the name of the settlement was changed to Durham (after Durham, England) and in 1706 the first town meeting was held. Durham was formally incorporated as a town by the General Court in 1708. In its early years Durham was primarily a farming town, though a few small mills along the Arrigoni Pond allowed for some small industry. A cider mill and several tanneries were built late in the 18th century, and during the same period quarrying became a staple industry in Durham. Brownstone quarried in Durham was used in the South Building and Yale University and for the steps of the Old State House in New Haven. Several new mills were erected during the 19th century, but by 1870 Durham was known primarily as a resort town. Far enough from the cities of Hartford and New Haven to maintain an atmosphere of quiet and tranquility yet close enough to be accessible for travelers in the days before the automobile, Durham was the perfect rural getaway for busy city dwellers. Now primarily residential in nature, Durham’s location remains a virtue, and residents enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of a small town without having to travel far to reach the city.
