History
Brief: |
The first settler in this area was a freed slave named Toby who purchased a large tract from the Paugasuck Indians in 1693 for a barrel of cider and ten pounds. The name Beacon Falls was in use locally since 1856 and refers to the falls in the Naugatuck River between Beacon Mountain and Toby�s Neck. The General Assembly designated Beacon Falls a town in May 1871, taking land from Bethany, Naugatuck, Oxford and Seymour. Town vital records begin 1871. Earlier records are in the four towns named.
