Situated along the western bank of the Connecticut River, the town of Cromwell has served as a success center for industry since shipbuilding first boomed on the river in the early 1800s. Trade is enhanced by the presence of Interstate 91 through town, and the Connecticut Expressway or Route 9 forms nearby connections to Interstates 95, 91, and 84. In spite of economic successes, Cromwell is primarily characterized as a residential community. The Connecticut River flows along the neighboring town of Portland’s western and southern borders, contributing significantly to a rich historical heritage and economic development of the community. Once famous for brownstone quarries, shipbuilding and tobacco farming, Portland now balances thriving companies and small businesses with active civic organizations, a modern library, and quality schools for a pleasing community setting. |
