Life in Glastonbury, CT

Glastonbury sits on the east bank of the Connecticut River, 7 miles southeast of Hartford. It is known for its orchards and berry farms, a long Main Street lined with colonial homes, and the Rocky Hill-Glastonbury Ferry, the oldest continuously operating ferry in the United States.

Thirty families settled the area, then called Pyaug, in 1636 as part of Wethersfield, and the town was officially founded in 1693. It was a shipbuilding town in the 1700s and early 1800s, and the J.B. Williams Company made shaving soap here starting in the 1840s. J.H. Hale Orchards opened in 1866, and John Howard Hale became known as the Peach King. About 35,000 people live here, from the busy center along Main Street and Glastonbury Boulevard to the farms and wooded hills to the east. Weekends often mean pick-your-own farms, trail walks and dinner in town.

Buying in Glastonbury: what Ryan and Megan check

  • Homes near the Connecticut River can sit in mapped flood zones; the river flooded the area in 1930. Check FEMA maps and insurance costs early.
  • Main Street and South Glastonbury include National Register historic districts with many pre-1800 homes. Ask the town whether any local review applies before planning exterior changes.
  • Some neighborhoods carry private association rules, such as Diamond Lake, where lake access is limited to association members. Confirm association dues and rules, and check whether a rural east-side property uses well and septic.
Roads

Route 2 and Route 17, which merge at the northeast edge of Glastonbury Center. Main Street, Hebron Avenue and Glastonbury Boulevard are the main local roads.

Airports

Bradley International Airport (Windsor Locks), about 30 minutes
