Wethersfield, Colonial settlement in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States
Wethersfield extends along the Connecticut River, containing over 150 preserved colonial buildings within its two-square-mile historic district boundaries.
The settlement, established in 1634 by a group of Massachusetts Puritans, holds the distinction of being Connecticut's first permanent English community.
The Joseph Webb House from 1752 stands as a national historic landmark where General Washington and French General Rochambeau planned military strategies in 1781.
The town maintains several educational institutions, including Wethersfield High School, Silas Deane Middle School, and five elementary schools with STEM programs.
Two separate meteorites struck Wethersfield within eleven years, with one falling through a residential house in 1982 without causing injuries.
