Marker reads:

The colonial Genarla Assembly in 1747 designated this area an ecclesiastical society and named it Marlborough. In 1803 the Connecticut General Assempbly incorporated Marlborough as a "district town" deriving its lands from Colchester, Hebron and Glastonbury Sadler's Ordinary, believed to have been built in 1653 near Lake Terramuggus, entertained travelers on the Path to Monhege between the Thames and Connecticut Rivers. The first schoolhouse hee was built in 1760, a time when farms and swawmills flourished. Marlborough Tavern, still serving the public, opened its doors late in the colonial period.

Local industry, chiefly in tertiles, was spurred by the New London Turnpike during the nineteenth century, but vanished with the burining of the last mill in 1907. Therfore Marlborough is mainly a residential community. Mary Hall, of this town, an educattor, became in 1882 the first woman layer to be admitted to practice at the bar of Connecticut.
