CORNWALL (Town) was named after
the county of Cornwall, England. The town was incorporated in
1740, nearly four decades before the United States declared its
independence. The town encompasses three distinct townships:
Cornwall Bridge and West Cornwall, each borders by the Housatonic
River to the west, and Cornwall Village, located three miles east of
the river. One significant natural feature is the vast amount
of forested land, including hundreds of acres of Mohawk State
Forest, resulting in Cornwall often being called "the "Greenest Town
in Connecticut".
