Thomaston Wedding

Thomaston is a town in Litchfield County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 7,503 at the 2000 census.

The town, originally part of Plymouth, Connecticut, and referred to as 'Plymouth Hollow' was first settled in the early 1700's. It was incorporated in its own right and under the name 'Thomaston' in 1875. The name derives from Seth Thomas, the early clockmaker, who established a factory in town. The Seth Thomas clock factory building still exists, however the clock making industry has long since left the area.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 31.7 km (12.2 mi). 31.1 km (12.0 mi) of it is land and 0.6 km (0.2 mi) of it (1.80%) is water.

The town is located at the confluence of the Naugatuck River, Northfield Brook and Black Rock Brook, and is protected by Army Corp of Engineer flood control dams on each of these watercourses. These were all constructed in the years immediately following the devastating flood of 1955 which ravaged the town as well as the state in general.
