History

Although shaving soap was their first product, they also made ink and shoe blacking. Her agricultural tradition is carried on by the orchards and berry farms in her hills. By 1690, residents of Pyaug had gained permission from Wethersfield to become a separate town and, in 1693, Glastonbury came into existence. John Hale never went beyond grade school, but he was responsible for Storrs Agricultural College, now UConn. They formed what is believed to be the first commercial soap manufacturing business in the world.
