The densely built Borough of Stonington occupies a point of land that projects into Little Narragansett Bay. It has two main streets that link two squares: Cannon Square and Wadawanuck Square, named for the former Wadawanuck Hotel that brought wealthy visitors in the post-Civil War era. The lack of through traffic or modern industry, together with the borough's role as a fashionable summer residence, have preserved its colonial, Federal, and outstanding Greek revival domestic architecture, while the activity of one of Connecticut's last remaining fishing and lobstering fleets keep it from being simply a quaint, historic village. There is a large community of Portuguese descent.
History
On August 30, 1775, during the American Revolutionary War, a tender chased two small private sloops into Stonington Harbor. When it was discovered that the sloops had made it to the dock and discharged their passengers, the tender fired a broadside into the dockside towns and stores before sailing out of the harbor again. It returned later in the company of another tender and the HMS Rose. All three ships then bombarded the town throughout the day. The local militia assembled and returned fire, claiming to have killed five or six men aboard the ships.
Not to be outdone by the larger and better-known village of Mystic, the beautiful albeit densely built Borough of Stonington occupies a point of land that projects into Little Narragansett Bay on the Connecticut/Rhode Island line. A population of just under 1,000 call this tiny 0.3 square mile spit of land home. Its colonial, Federal, and Greek revival architectures have been preserved through the lack of traffic or modern industry, together with the borough's role as a fashionable summer residence. The village is also home to one of Connecticut's last remaining fishing and lobstering fleets makes it authentic and worthy of a visit anytime of year.
