Music Lessons Wethersfield

Wethersfield is a town located in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States.[2] It is located immediately south of Hartford along the Connecticut River. Its population was 27,049 in the 2010 census.

Many records from colonial times spell the name "Weathersfield" and "Wythersfield", while Native Americans called it "Pyquag".[4] "Watertown" is a variant name.

Founded in 1634 by a Puritan settlement party of "10 Men" including John Oldham, Robert Seeley, Thomas Topping and Nathaniel Foote, Wethersfield is arguably the oldest town in Connecticut,[5][6] depending on one's interpretation of when a remote settlement qualifies as a "town". Along with Windsor and Hartford, Wethersfield is represented by one of the three grapevines on the Flag of Connecticut, signifying the state's three oldest European settlements.[7][8] The town took its name from Wethersfield, a village in the English county of Essex.[9] The town was previously called "Watertown" named after Watertown, Massachusetts until February 21, 1637, when it was incorporated as a town along with Windsor and Hartford.
