Agricultural community with Scottish heritage
The rural town of Scotland, situated in Connecticut’s “Quiet Corner,” features a variety of home styles separated by state forest and farmland. The area’s first settler, Isaac Magoon, purchased 1,950 acres in the year 1700 and is believed to have named it Scotland to commemorate his homeland. It remained part of the Town of Windham until 1857, when the state granted a petition to make it independent. To preserve its rural identity, the town passed a zoning regulation in the late 1900s requiring a minimum of 25% of the town be used as open space. Today, Scotland is still a predominantly agricultural community, but access to major thoroughfares and nearby cities like Windham keep locals connected to modern conveniences.
Scotland is a rural town founded in 1857 that was primarily an agricultural town with vast farmland.
Farm stands in front of homes are a common sight in Scotland as residents sell their wares from their farm.
