History

Willimantic is best known for its legend,[http://www.curbstone.org/index.cfm?webpage=102 "The Battle of Frog Pond"]. To commemorate the incident, the town has erected a [http://www.kurumi.com/roads/ct/br-frog.html Frog Bridge] featuring giant frog sculptures atop spools of thread. The thread spools are included in the bridge's design because Willimantic was once known as “Thread City.” The American Thread Company had a mill on the banks of the Willimantic River, and was at one time the largest employer in the state as well as one of the largest producers of thread in the world. It was an incident in 1754 around the time of the French and Indian War. The pond was renamed Frog Pond, the story spread throughout the towns and colonies, and the legend was born.
