East Hampton,
Connecticut is located in Middlesex County.
It was known as Chatham
until 1915. The town has 36.8 square miles and is home to about 11,600 people.
It is the site of the largest lake in the state of Connecticut,
Lake Pocotopaug. You will find the Salmon
River running near the southern border of the town, and the Connecticut
River as its western boundary. It is still very much a rural and
suburban town.
Chatham
was first settled in 1710. In 1767 it was incorporated as it's own town and
separated from the town of Middletown,
CT. East Hampton was home to the country's first factory dedicated to
manufacturing bells. It is now known for industrial nets, witch hazel and tool
and die making.
East Hampton
is run by a Council-Manager form of government with an elected seven-number
Town Council and the Town Meeting. The day-to-day administrative duties are
handled by the Town Manager, who is appointed by the Town Council.
