Maps and Settlement Information
| The Stamford of 1685
This map, from E. B. Huntington's History of Stamford, shows the original territory covered by the purchase of Capt. Turner for the Wethersfield dissidents. Shaded areas show the portions cut off for the new towns as they were organized. In 1700 the present town line was drawn on the north, leaving the land north of it in Pound Ridge, North Castle and Bedford, New York. In 1801 the northeast section of town was set off as part of New Canaan and in 1820, all land lying east of the Noroton river was incorporated as Darien. Stamford 1681-1700 By this time many inhabitants of Stamford lived to the east, the north, and the west of the center of the village. The Early Settlement of Stamford, Connecticut |
