Wethersfield, the oldest European settlement in Connecticut, was first named Pyquag, an Indian name which was changed in 1635 to Watertown in honor of the Massachusetts town of that name from whence came so many of its early settlers. The name was later changed to the present Wethersfield; at which time it included the present towns of Rocky Hill, Newington, and Glastonbury as well.

This, the Narrative History portion of the two-volume magnus opus on the town, contains a comprehensive history of all of the early institutions and people for almost three centuries. This historical research is coupled with enormous amounts of genealogical data.
