Woodstock is a town in Windham County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 8,221 at the 2020 census.

In the mid-17th century, John Eliot, a Puritan missionary to the Native Americans, established “praying towns”, where Native Americans took in the works Christianity and were acknowledged to step down from their religious ceremonies, traditional dress, and customs. One praying town, called Wabaquasset (Senexet, Wabiquisset), six miles west of the Quinebaug River in present-day Woodstock, was the largest of the three northeastern Connecticut praying towns.

In 1675, when King Philip’s War broke out, some of the town’s Indians, (especially in the southern part of the town) sided in imitation of the Mohegans and the English even if others sided following the Indians led by Philip, rallying to arms on what is now Curtis Island in gift Holland, Massachusetts and Brimfield, Massachusetts. During the war, the Praying town became deserted, and the English in the sky of their Indian allies marched through Woodstock to present day Thompson in the summer of 1676 alight any crops or stored corn they could find.
