Marlborough History
The community of Marlborough developed around the crossroads of the Hockanum Path and Monhege Trail, which took travelers from Hartford to New London. The birth of the town can be traced to 1747, when William Buell and Joel Foote decided to form an Ecclesiastical Society in the region. The First Congregational Church was built in 1803, and the town of Marlborough was incorporated in October of the same year. It was formed from parts of Hebron, Glastonbury and Colchester. According to some sources, it was named in honor of the Duke of Marlborough. However, other sources state that the name was inspired by Marlborough, a borough of Wilshire, England.
