Granby, Rural town in Hartford County, Connecticut.
The community extends along Salmon Brook Street South with structures placed back from the road among large shade trees and spacious plots.
Originally part of Simsbury until 1786, the town was named after Granby in Massachusetts, honoring John Manners, Marquess of Granby.
The Granby Center Historic District contains numerous 19th-century buildings, featuring a central green area with a Civil War monument.
The town occupies 40.8 square miles of land in northern Hartford County, with three distinct areas: Salmon Brook, North Granby, and West Granby.
In 1737, Dr. Samuel Higley minted unauthorized colonial coins from his copper mine, inscribing them with the phrase 'Value me as you please.'
