Canton, CTInc. 1806
Canton is a scenic town along the Farmington River northwest of Hartford, with the village of Collinsville — a well-preserved mill village centered around the Collins Company axe factory — as its most distinctive feature. The Collinsville section has undergone revitalization, with shops and restaurants in converted mill buildings.
For property professionals, Canton offers the Collinsville village charm alongside more conventional suburban and rural residential development. The Farmington River creates recreational amenity and flood zone considerations.
