New Haven Connecticut Region MapThe town of Ashford, Connecticut was founded in 1714. What is now known as the town of Eastford was originally a part of Ashford until 1847 or 1848, when Eastford split off to organize its own town. This is why North Ashford is located in northeast Eastford.

Ashford boasts having 4 places on the National Register of Historic Places; Ashford Academy, Church Farm, Knowlton Memorial Hall, and Mixer Tavern. Ashford is also home to the largest Boy Scout camp in all of Connecticut. While visiting Ashford check out the Boston Hollow, a deep ravine that is an ancient fault in the Avalonian bedrock of the eastern highlands of Connecticut.
