History of Glastonbury

The land that is now Glastonbury was originally inhabited by the Mohegan tribe of Native Americans. European settlers first arrived in the area in 1636, establishing the town of Wethersfield on the other side of the Connecticut River. In 1693, residents living on the east side of the river petitioned to form their own separate town known as Glastenbury, later changed to Glastonbury. The town was named after Glastonbury in England.
