Excerpt from The History of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut, Including East Windsor, South Windsor, and Ellington, Prior to 1768, the Date of Their Separation From the Old Town: And Windsor, Bloomfield and Windsor Locks, to the Present Time; Also the Genealogies and Genealogical Notes of Those Families Which Settled Within the Limits of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut, Prior to 1800 These circumstances, however, I would not mention here, were it not in the hope that they might serve to explain and to excuse, What perhaps might seem to others inexcusable faults of omission and commission. The original plan of the work included the history of East and South Windsor and Ellington to the present time. Finding, however, that Dr. H. C. Gillette of South Windsor, had undertaken the history of those towns from the commencement of the Revolution to the present day, and had in deed commenced its publication in the Hartford Times, I relinquished that portion of my intended labor, and contented myself with giving the history of those towns only down to the year 1768, at which time they ceased to be a portion of Ancient Windsor. For the sake of completeness, however, I continued the ecclesiastical history of the east side towns, as well as the genealogies of the families therein, to the present date.

Mills also sprang up in the area, utilizing the canals water to power their manufacturing operations. Today the canal has taken on a more historical, ecological, and recreational significance. Home to diverse plant and animal species, it is an excellent place to enjoy sweeping views of the Connecticut River and to see the factories that played a big part in the regions history.
