Here's a map of former, major stagecoach routes and major inter-town highways in CT. The map is not exhaustive, but it shows CT before many "newer" towns were formed/incorporated and gives a good sense for how development was prioritized.Personal-Ad-7407 t1_iuhr8fd wrote

Interesting!
That is a strange jog in the border. I checked the Wethersfield GIS map to be sure it wasn’t a Google Map artifact. Great trivia question material.

It’s really cool to walk through the woods and see an East Hartford/Wethersfield town line sign followed, about a half mile later, by a Glastonbury/Wethersfield town line sign. There’s even a reason for it but I don’t remember what. I’ll go look and update.

Turns out it was a flood. This is a cool article about the area.
