Town of Redding
History :
In the early 1700s, Redding, Connecticut, was home to an Indian village whose leader was named Chickens Warrups. In 1714, John Read, the first white man to settle in Redding (which was then part of Fairfield), claimed 500 acres to set up a homestead for his wife and children. Lonetown Manor, as Read's home was called, soon became the center of a busy and populous farm settlement, and a number of mills and other enterprises associated with farmer's needs soon took root.
Redding has turned the corner from the 20th century to the 21st century and looks to our wealth of history to guide us in the new century. The Board of Selectmen funded An Historical and Archeological Assessment Survey of Redding by Stuart Reeve. Working with the Redding Historical Society, the Town has supported an ongoing project to produce a Town history book. The book will augment Charles Burr Todd's The History of Redding, first published in 1880 and revised in 1905. Dan Cruson, a long-time teach at Joel Barlow High School, published Images of Redding and Easton in 2000.
