DISH Cable Company for Your Home in Southington, CT

Before Southington was established as such in 1779, it was known as South Farmington, and Panthorne even before that when it was first settled by Samuel Woodruff in 1698. With such an old history, it isn't surprising that there's a huge list of structures—that are located in Southington—included on the National Register of Historic Places. However, what is surprising is that the oldest amusement park in the country is located (at least partially) in Southington. Originally opened in 1846, Lake Compounce is still operating to this day.

While it has never been a large city, Southington has had a lot of success over its long history and has remained a picturesque representation of old East Coast architecture. Not only do many of the buildings, streets, and neighborhoods represent a sweep of history going back to the origins of the country, but there are also untouched landscapes surrounding the area, featuring trap rock formations, grass-covered rolling hills, and the red-rock Ragged Mountain that sits overlooking Southington.

Several revitalization projects have been underway since the beginning of the new millennium, but even with the town coming of age, Southington residents haven't lost track of what's important in life. Shopping at local stores run by friends in the community and spending time with family is a focus here.
