Avon, Connecticut: A Brief Informal History
Excerpt from Avon, Connecticut
Shelters were quickly built and exploring parties went out in search of land suitable for agriculture on which their existence depended. One such party looked down from the mountain on the peaceful valley of the Tunxis. The Great Meadows, grass -grown but treeless, offered ready grazing and hay land. There were forests for timber and game, and a river teeming with salmon and shad in their season. In 1640 several families came through the Notch and become the first settlers of the Tunxis Plantation. As Avon was a part of Farmington for 200 years their history 13 also ours.
