Middlebury History

Middlebury was constructed by Isaac Bronson in the early 1700s.

In 1790, this region, along with portions of Southbury and Woodbury, was established as a distinct ecclesiastical society. The name Middlebury was derived from the fact that the meeting house of Middlebury was 6 miles from each Woodbury, Southbury and Waterbury. Middlebury was officially incorporated in October, 1807.
