ADT-Monitored Home Security Service in Avon, CT

Avon ( AY-vahn) is a town in the Farmington Valley region of Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. As of the 2020 census, the town had a population of 18,932.

At the end of the last Ice Age, c.12,400 years BP of the Younger Dryas, nomadic peoples built a campsite next to the river that would become known as the Farmington River. They were apparently the first people to populate the region that would become known as southern New England, including the region that would become Avon. Over the Paleoindian grow old the site was revisted multiple grow old by new nomadic peoples until it gradually became buried by sediment from the river’s occasional flooding. In the winter of 2019, the campsite remains were excavated in Avon, along with rock tools and artifacts constructed from materials in neighboring regions.

Avon was fixed in 1645 and was originally a part of next to Farmington. In 1750, the parish of Northington was normal in the northern portion of Farmington, to hold a Congregational church more accessible to the local population. Its first pastor was Ebenezer Booge, a graduate of Yale Divinity School who arrived in 1751. The Farmington Canal’s inauguration in 1828 brought new business to the village, which sat where the canal intersected the Talcott Mountain Turnpike linking Hartford to Albany, New York. Hopes of industrial and commercial addition spurred Avon to incorporate. In 1830, the Connecticut General Assembly incorporated Northington as the town of Avon, after County Avon in England. Such move on never came and, in the 1900s, the rural town became a suburban enclave.
