Here's a map of former, major stagecoach routes and major inter-town highways in CT. The map is not exhaustive, but it shows CT before many "newer" towns were formed/incorporated and gives a good sense for how development was prioritized.taakoblaa t1_iugbhjg wrote
Oh this is so funny. I was just telling my husband about how New Milford used to be much bigger before pieces were broken off to create Brookfield, Sherman, and Washington. And how a town needed to have a Congregational church to be a town.

Just for the record, New Milford is still the largest town in CT in terms of acreage. However, it did not give land for the formation of Sherman. That distinction falls to New Fairfield. They did give land for Bridgewater though.
