  • Remarks Public Addendum: History buffs will be intrigued to know that the town takes its name from King William III, Prince of Orange. His grateful subjects named the land for him after he succeeded the despotic King James in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The colonists commemorated his preservation of the charter of Connecticut. There will be a quiz. Our agrarian roots are symbolized by the ox team on the town seal. That rich heritage is embodied in the stalwart family farms that supply your pumpkins & holiday trees.
