New London
County
was one of four original counties in
Connecticut
that were established on May 10, 1666, by an act of the
Connecticut General Court
.
New London
County
consisted of the towns of
Stonington
,
Norwich
,
New London
, and Saybrook.
The "Homonoscet Plantation" referred to in the constituting Act was settled in March 1663, at first as Kenilworth but incorporated
as the town of Killingworth
in 1667.
Several new towns were incorporated and added to
New London
over the next few decades:
Preston in 1687, Colchester in 1699, and
Lebanon
in 1700. The settlements along the
Quinebaug
Valley
were placed under
New London
jurisdiction in 1697 (later incorporated as
Plainfield
in 1699). By 1717, more towns were established in northeastern
Connecticut
(between
the
Quinebaug
Valley
and the
Rhode Island
border) and added to
New London
County
.
In 1726,
Windham
County
was constituted, consisting of towns in northeastern
Connecticut
.
New London
County
lost the towns of Voluntown,
Pomfret, Killingly,
Canterbury
,
Plainfield
, and
Lebanon
to the newly-formed county. In 1785,
Middlesex
County
was constituted, consisting of
towns along the lower
Connecticut River
Valley
, taking away the towns of Killingworth and Saybrook from
New London
County
. Several
additional boundary adjustments took place in the 19th century: the establishment of the town of
Marlborough
in 1803, the transfer of the town
of
Lebanon
from
Windham
County
in 1824, and the transfer of the town of
Voluntown
from
Windham
County
in 1881
