APPENDIX.


LITCHFIELD COUNTY,


NORTH of the ancient towns of Waterbury, Woodbury and New Milford long remained a wilderness after most of the other parts of the State were settled. To secure the fee of the soil to the colonists, when at and subsequently to the administration of Sir Edmund Andros, efforts were made to wrest from us our charter privileges, the General Assembly granted Patents to several towns ; and as most of Litchfield County was not then embraced in any townships, the land was granted to the inhabitants of Hart- ford and Windsor, as far west as the Housatonic river. All other parts of the State, not included in any townships, when the dan- ger was over, quietly and without question reverted to the Colony ; but Hartford and Windsor on pretence that it was a bona fide grant, laid claim to the whole. While the controversy was pend- ing, Litchfield was incorporated ; and the government gave indica- tions of a determination to do right and improve these lands, then called Western Lands, for the benefit of the whole Colony. But the leading men of Hartford and Windsor were determined to give the government no peace till their rights were acknowledged. Finally, wearied out with their importunity, the General Assembly, after reserving to Litchfield their chartered rights, ceded the East


46

portion of the territory to Hartford and Windsor, and those towns relinquished all claim to the Western portion. The dividing line has Goshen and Norfolk on the West, and Torrington, Winchester and Colebrook on the East. Hartford took for their portion the townships of New Hartford, Winchester and Hartland ; and Wind- sor took Barkhamsted, Torrington and Colebrook. Harwinton was divided one half to each town, and named from the two towns, Har-Win-ton. The portion secured to the government was laid out into townships and rights, which were sold at auction at the several county seats.
