While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Tunxis (from Wuttunkshau, `the point
where the river bends.'-Trumbull).
An important tribe that lived on middle Farmington river near the great
bend, about
where Farmington and Southington Hartford county, Conn., are now. They
were subject at an early period to Sequassen, the sachem who sold Hartford
to the English. Ruttenber includes there in the Wappinger. They sold the
greater part of their territory in 1610. About 1700 they still had a
village of 20 wigwams at Farmington, but in 1761 there were only 4 or 5
families left.
