When the Connecticut Valley became known to Europeans with mention to 1631, it was inhabited by what were known as the River Tribes—a number of little clans of Native Americans vibrant along the Great River and its tributaries. Of these tribes the Podunks occupied territory now lying in the towns of East Hartford and South Windsor, and numbered, by differing estimates, from sixty to two hundred bowmen. They were governed by two sachems, Waginacut and Arramamet, and were united in some exaggeration with the Native Americans who lived across the Great River, in what is now Windsor. The region north of the Hockanum River was generally called Podunk; that south of the river, Hockanum; but these were no distinct designations, and by some all the meadow along the Great River was called Hockanum.

In 1659, Thomas Burnham (1617–1688) purchased the tract of house now covered by the towns of South Windsor and East Hartford from Tantinomo, chief sachem of the Podunk Indians. Burnham lived upon the home and well along willed it to his nine children. The town of Hartford, founded in 1635, once included the house now occupied by the towns of East Hartford, Manchester, Bolton, Vernon, and West Hartford. During the Revolutionary War, French troops below Lieutenant General Comte de Rochambeau twice camped in town, before and after aiding General George Washington’s forces in the 1781 eradicate of the British during the Siege of Yorktown.
