EspañolBOLTON, CONNECTICUT
(Redirected from Bolton Notch, Connecticut)
'Bolton' is a town in Tolland County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 5,017 at the 2000 census and encompasses 14.7 square miles. Bolton was incorporated in October 1720 and is governed by town meeting.
The towns school system is extremely well-reputed within the state despite its relatively small enrollment (<400 high school students). The high school is affiliated with the NCCC athletic conference, and in its first year of participation, won the conference tennis championship and were runner up Class S state champions in Cross Country. The Bolton Public Schools have a long standing rivalry with the schools of Coventry.
Route 6, one of the most dangerous roads in the nation, splits the town in half. Despite attempts to re-route the highway for decades, no consensus has been passed.
Bolton, CT is home to NHL star Ron Hainsey, the 1st Round Pick of the Montreal Canadiens and the current defensemen for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
In 1723, Jonathan Edwards was installed as Bolton's first pastor.
In 1781, George Washington stayed at a home in Bolton. Later that year, the French army passed through the town. On Rose's Farm, Rochambeau stayed the night with his troops. Archaelological evidence proves that they were in those field sand also located across the street, but because of the houses there it was not proven. Archaeologists believe that the officers of the troops stayed there, since they usually stayed away from the troops because they considered themselves higher in status. The artifacts that would have been found if the grounds had been correctly excevated would have been very useful for the history of Bolton.
★ Ralph Earl, artist and portrait painter, died in town in 1801.
