HARTFORD GRAMMAR SCHOOL .- 89 Hopkins st.
A classical school was founded in Hartford in 1688, which was partly supported by the town and partly by tuition fees. It received its first bequests in 1655, 1659, 1664 and 1680. The town for more than a century managed this school, when they petitioned in 1798 for an act of incorporation, and it was thus continued until 1847 under the corporate name of the Hartford Grammar School, when it was merged with the Classi- cal Department of the Hartford Public High School. Previous to this merging, the school was held in a two story brick building on the southwest part of Lin- den place. It is free to residents of Hartford. The number of scholars is limited to 85.
