Demographics

Glastonbury is the wealthiest town east of the Connecticut River (in terms of household income) in the state of Connecticut. Many estates are perched on hills with views of the Hartford skyline. Glastonbury has experienced continuous rapid growth since the 1950s, and was on the edge of Hartford's urban sprawl until the mid-1990s. By mid-1990s, growth moved beyond Glastonbury as the open land became sparse and the municipality began buying back land. Currently, most of the development are subdivisions of large homes on relatively small lots, and existing property has experienced a significant growth in real-estate values as the state of Connecticut began constructing a green belt, increasing the land shortage for metro Hartford.

History

Glastonbury was originally settled in 1636, and split off from Wethersfield in 1693, after residents on the eastern side of the Connecticut River complained of having to cross the river to attend church in Wethersfield. The Rocky Hill - Glastonbury Ferry, the oldest continuously running ferry in the United States, started running in 1655 between Rocky Hill (which was then also a part of Wethersfield) and South Glastonbury. Once a church was established and a reverend was appointed, Glastonbury (originally spelled several different ways, including "Glassenbery") became an established village. (A result of being split off was that the town was built along a main road, rather than the large green that anchors most New England towns. After part of New London Turnpike was realigned to eliminate the rotary in the middle of town during the mid-20th century, a small green was established there.) The Rocky Hill - Glastonbury Ferry is a seasonal ferry crossing the Connecticut River between the towns of Glastonbury, Connecticut and Rocky Hill, Connecticut and is part of Route 160. ...
