Description

by Daniel Cruson

Originally created to supply information on the glacial geology and early human inhabitants of the county for his Local History Class at Joel Barlow High School, Dan felt that the information that this text contained would be enjoyed by a wider audience. As a result he revised and rewrote the text to make it reflect the latest discoveries in Connecticut archaeology.

Along with his own graphics and photographs, this work tells the story of Newtown from the break up of the supercontinent, Pangaea, up to the coming of the town’s first settlers, where all other histories of the town begin.
