Simsbury, New England town in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States.
Simsbury extends across 34 square miles in the northern section of Farmington Valley, with Talcott Mountain forming its eastern border along the Metacomet Ridge.
The settlement, initially named Massacoe, received incorporation as Connecticut's 21st town in May 1670 following a petition by John Case and Joshua Holcomb.
The town maintains its agricultural heritage through preserved farmland and traditional New England architecture, reflecting centuries of continuous community development.
Residents access numerous outdoor activities at Talcott Mountain State Park, which includes hiking trails, observation points, and recreational facilities throughout the year.
The Pinchot Sycamore, standing at the western base of Talcott Mountain near the Farmington River, holds the title of Connecticut's largest tree.
