NORWICH
Norwich, known as "The Rose of New England," is a thriving city with a stable population of 40,493 (2010) with a Medium price of single family home approximately $170,000. Three rivers, the Yantic, the Shetucket, and the Quinebaug river flow into the city and form its harbor, from which the Thames River flows south to Long Island Sound.

Norwich was founded in 1658 by settlers from Old Saybrook led by Major John Mason and Reverend James Fitch. They purchased the land that would become Norwich from the local Native American Mohegan Tribe. The original center of the town was a neighborhood now called Norwichtown, an inland location chosen to be the center of a primarily agricultural farming community.

Norwich served as leadership center for Connecticut during the Civil War. Connecticut Governor William Buckingham, who was from nearby Lebanon, used his Norwich home as a de facto office during the conflict. United States Senator Lafayette Foster later became Acting Vice President after President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
