Cromwell, CT - City and Town Halls on Waymarking.com

The Town Hall has 2 sections. The front sectionis a brown brick building. According to the inscription in the building it was once a public school. The building has a right wing and left wing, which look like two separate, distinct, but identical buildings. This section appears to contain the library and senior section. At the back of the building the main entrance to the Town Hall is located. This is a modern addition constructed of brown brick. This is where the photo is taken.

The Cromwell area was originally settled as part of Mattabesset settlement, what would eventually be called Middletown, in 1651. Specifically, the area would be referred to as the Middletown Upper Houses, relating to the area's northern orientation. The first settlers built homes in the area around and between todays Wall and South Streets and included the names of Stocking, Graves, Webster, Smith, Treat, Savage, Blumfield, Martin and White.

The Upper Houses were set apart from Middletown proper by the Sebethe River which presented transportation challenges from time to time. As early as 1789, discussions of separation began and in 1851, the Upper Houses became a separate town from Middletown.
