From its vibrant fall colors to its cliffs with incredible views, and from its charming shopping districts to its cozy neighborhoods, Mansfield contains everything you love about Connecticut. It even includes the community of Storrs, home to the University of Connecticut. There’s a lot of history in Mansfield. The town was part of Windham in the 1600s, called Ponde Place by settlers. They broke away from Windham and incorporated in 1702. By the 1800s, Windham was known for its production of silk.
Park space fills Mansfield and includes the UConn Forest, Shelter Falls Park, Schoolhouse Brook Park, Mansfield Hollow State Park, the Moss Sanctuary, and the Dunhamtown Forest and Joshua’s Trust. On the outskirts of Mansfield, you’ll discover acres of farmland and orchards. Storrs Road, especially closer to UConn, is dotted with shops and restaurants. Near the intersection of Storrs Road and Eagleville Road, you’ll find the Mansfield Community Center and the Storrs Farmers Market.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
