History of WolcottWolcott was once part of Hartford, then later became part of the newly established Farmington. When Waterbury was formed, the north eastern portion, roughly half of the current-day Wolcott, was part of Farmington, and the other half was part of Waterbury.
Prior to being officially named as a township, Wolcott was referred to as Wolcottville. Swans to Grace Wolcott
