Rural community on the Connecticut-Rhode Island border
Part of Connecticut's “Quiet Corner,” Sterling is a rural community offering a range of single-family home styles with above-average yard space. Sitting along the Connecticut-Rhode Island border, and close to several major thoroughfares, residents enjoy a slower pace of life without being cut off from modern conveniences. Settlers first came to the area in the early-1700s, with Plainfield Pike serving as a major road between Providence and Hartford. The Sterling Hill Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, has preserved some houses and a church from the town’s early rural village beginnings. Today, Sterling remains a quaint community that’s focused on maintaining its rustic appeal.
