A SHORT HISTORY
OF MANCHESTER
on the following fou r pages:
The Five Miles, the first name given to the area now ~Ian ·
chester, was bought from the Podunk Indians in 1672 by the
town of Hartford, whose land then included both sides of the'
Connecticut River. The portion cast of the river extended
three miles inland. The 1672 purchase pushed its bounds
eastward to the Bolton hills. The Five Miles contained goo d
farm land in its western section, and the more hilly eastern
region provided numerou s streams for water power. While
most of the first sett lers here made their living from agriculture, small mills were needed for supplying lumber and for
grinding meal and flour. The first small village in the Five
Miles grew up around Gilbert's sawmill on Hop Brook . Here
the town ' s first tavern was opened in 1713 , and its first
schoo l buildin g erected in 1751. Oth er villages formed along
streams - Hilliardville on Bigelow Brook near its eonflucnee
with the Hoekanum River , and Buckland , Union Village and
Oakland on the river itself. Cheneyville developed around the
girst and silk mills built by the Cheney family on Hop Brook
east of the first sett led area.
Soon small textile and paper mills became the chief in'
dustries of the town . Other manufa cturing was done here at
various times - powder , glass, carriages, plows, electrical
equipment, soap, needles, musical instrumen ts - most of it
on a small scale in shops employ ing only a few workers. The
later products of Manchester indu stry most familiar throughout the country were Cheney silks and Bon Ami, a mineral
cleanser.
In 1772 the legislature established the Ecclesiasti cal Societ y of Orford in the Five Miles, giving the inh abitants control of church activities, which in those days covered schools,
roads and cemeteries. In 1783 East Hartford was ineorporated as a separate town , includin g Orford Parish. There
followed a forty year period of intermittent friction between
the residents of the Parish and those living nearer the Conn ectieut River, ending in 1823 with the incorporation of the
Parish as the town of Manchester . The choice of that name is
supposed to have been made because the new town, like the
English city, was a textile center.
Manchester's population grew slowly. In the census year
1830 there were 1576 residents. In 1860 the number had increased to 3294. At that date agriculture was still an important source of livelihood. There were several mills making
paper, liut the large factories were the silk mills of Cheney
Brothers, and the cotton mills of the Union Manufacturing
Company on the Hockanum, just west of the dam at Union
Pond. Each of these employed about 600 workers. In 1849
the railroad line between Manchester and Hartford had been
completed and trains were running. In the late 1840's and
and the 1850's the character of the town's population was
changing. Before 1845 most of the people were of English
descent. The great wave of immigration from southern Ireland beginning in 1848 brought a considerable number of
Irish Catholics to Manchester.
From its population of about 3500 Manchester provided,
mainly by volunteer enlistment, 253 men for the Union armies, of whom 52 died in the service. Another Manchester
contribution to the Union success was the Spencer repeating
rifle, developed by a Manchester native, Christopher Spencer,
in the Cheney machine shop and manufactured by a Cheney
company in Boston.
The period 1861-1917 was one of vast expansion of
American business. By the latter year Cheney Brothers ernployed about 4000 workers and had build and was operating
a water system, a gas compapy, an electric company, and a
railroad, the only family-owned railroad in the United States
and one of the shortest - about two miles, Industrially the
north end of the town had declined. Fire had destroyed two
paper mills. The Union Manufacturing Company had gone
into a receivership as had the Mather Electric and the Perkins
Electric Lamp Company, both of which had been housed in
th.e brick factory still standing on Hilliard Street.
•
Also by 1917 frequent trains to Hartford and the building of Irolley lines between that city and Manchester had
made COmmuting to the city casy and fostered the develop.
ment of Manchester as a 'bedroom' suburb. The town had
two savings banks, and two newspapers. The Evening Herald,
founded in 1881, had recently become a daily. The South
Manchester News was a semi-weekly, Agriculture was continuing its slow decline.
American participation in World War 1 brought a short
period of excitement and frantic war activity to the town.
For the first time women were enrolled in the armed forces,
and Manchester's honor roll of 1242 contained the names of
12 yeomanettes and one army nurse. Of this total 43 died in
the service.
Beginning about 1926 a succession of catastrophes hit the
silk industry in the United States, and the depression begin.
ning in 1929 made the condition of the Cheney firm very uncertain. It revived somewhat during World War II but in
1954, after a succession of bad years, till' family sold the
business to the J. P. Stevens Company, which sold many of
the buildings. At present , 1973, only one mill (making upholstery materials) operates under the Cheney uanu-, but not
under Cheuey ownership. Fortunately the growth of the
grcat airplane plaut iu East Hartford paralleled tilt' decline of
the great silk firm, and offered employment to mauy Manchester residents. thus speediug the development of the town
as a 'bedroom' community .
World War II, longer and much greater in seale and range
of fighting, laid correspondingly greater burdens on all Americans, and the list of Manchester dead in the service contains
109 names.
By the early 1900's the schools of the Ninth District
(South Manchester) under the leadership of Fred A. Ver.
planck had gained a position of leadership in education in
New England. In 1933 the districts were abolished and the
town took over complete control of public education. Mr.
Verplanck became the first superintendent of all the town
schools. Periods of school building after each of the World
Wars gave Manchester many well equipped new schools, including the huge new high school on Middle Turnpike. A
Catholic school system began locally in 1922 with the opening of St. James School on Park Street, The more recent
parochial schools have fallen into financial troubles and one
has been for ced to close. The system now includes three
elementary schools and the East Catholi c High School, a
regional school for Manchester and several nearb y towns. In
1963 th e Manchester Communit y College was established by
the town, the second of its type in Connecticut. In 1965
it was taken over by the state.
The Ecclesiastical Society of Orford , 1772, established
the Center Congregational Church which had been operating
on a 'winter' basis for many years. Soon a Methodist church
was built on Spencer Street. Baptist and Episcopal churehcs
were organized later, and in 1858 St. Bridget 's Catholic
Church on Main Street completed the list of denominations
which bad set up their work here before the Civil War.
As for government and politi cs, Manchester rctained
until 1947 the tradition al New England town government
with the town meeting as its dominant institution. In that
year a new charter set up the council-manager form. After
many years as a Republican stronghold, the town is now in
the politi cally doubtful category, with the Democrats outnumbering Republi cans on th e registration lists.
Manchester, now with a population of about 50 ,000, is
facing the problems of growth and of shifting business areas.
A revival of civic interest and community loyally seems to be
under way. Hail to the futu re!

Manchester and C. R. Burr & Co. expanded together. Although Clifford Burr

The Mallchester Board of Realtors had it s beginning when the

had th e foresight to interest a small group o f real estate broker s to
form a Board of Realtors in Man che st er.
At thi s spec ial milestone in th e hist ory of Man chester, it is
filting that tribute be paid to Mr. Holl 1I0t only for all th at he
meant to thi s Board , but also for his valuable co nt ribu t io n to " allches le r. For over sixty r ears, until his death at th e age of 93 in
1967. "Ei]." used thi s same foresight and vision to attractively
develop wide area s of the tOWlI , These areas today remain as memorials to him and testimonials of his thoughtful planning for th e
future of Manchester.
With the grow th of the Board came th e need for its OWII 'luitip le Listing Se rvice to take its place wit h similar Services Ihroughout the slate and nation, The 'Iulliple Listing Serv i"e of 'Iallehesler had its bcgillllillg ill 1955 through the ulltirillg efforts of Warrcn-E.

SAVINGS

r
.'
Manchester was only 68 years old
when Savings & Loan was founded
Manchester truly had "village charm" when
Manchester Savings & l oan was founded 82
years ago. In 1891 a group of local businessmen
realized the town needed a place where folks
cauld deposit and earn interest on their sayings
and where loans for t he purchase of homes
could be had.
Thus, Manchester's first financia l institution
was established. It first occupied a small office
$pace in the C. E. House clothing store, later
movi ng to its present location just north of
Maple Street.
Sjnce then it has helped thousand s to earn
monty on their savings. to finance newhomes,
and transact other financial matters.
This Spring the Manchester office was COmpletely rebuilt and redecorated in the 18th Century American manner lending a homey,friendly unhurried atmosphere to its customers.
Manchester Savings & Loan invites you to
drop in and see how charming and efficient
Manchester's oldest financial institution is today.
Savings & Loan is 82 years old today
