Southington Wedding

Southington is a town in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States. It is situated about 10 miles east of Waterbury and about 20 miles southwest of Hartford. Southington includes the areas of Plantsville, Marion and Milldale, all of which have their own post offices. The town is located along exits 28 through 32 of Interstate 84, and exit 4 of Interstate 691. Southington is also known for their high school sports teams (the Southington Blue Knights), the Briarwood College, and a branch of the Branford Hall Career Institute.

Although Southington was formally established as a town in 1779, its roots go back to a much earlier time. Samuel Woodruff, Southington's first white settler, moved from Farmington to the area then known as Panthorne that was settled in 1698 (now recognized by Southington's "Panthorn Park"). The settlement grew, prospered, and came to be known as South Farmington and then later, the shortened version, Southington.
