Just a 10 minute drive from the state capital in Hartford, Glastonbury boasts a thriving economy, good schools, a scenic landscape of meadowlands and hills, and a rich history spanning more than 300 years. Early in the 17th century, settlers arrived on the east bank of the Connecticut River and established homesteads on a tract of land belonging to Wethersfield. In 1693, the town of Glastonbury was incorporated as a separate community. During the American Revolution, Glastonbury was home to George Stocking's gunpowder factory, and over the course of the 18th century the town became a center for shipbuilding, with oak forests, waterpower from the Connecticut River and newly established factories all providing for Glastonbury's staple industry. By the middle of the 19th century, shipbuilding was on the wane and other industries began to arise. In 1842, two brothers established the J.B. Williams Soap Factory, now believed to be the world's first commercial soap manufacturing business. Glastonbury's factories supplied leather and woolen goods to the armies of the United States and several European nations during the two World Wars. Today, Glastonbury serves as a bedroom community for nearby Hartford, where most major industries are now located. Two major retail shopping areas are just a short drive from Glastonbury, and the town is easily accessible from several major highways. With a rich, lovingly preserved heritage and a bright future ahead, Glastonbury offers the best of New England past and present.
