Situated 30 miles outside of Hartford, Wolcott is an attractive lake community with a vibrant community atmosphere set between I-84 and US-6. Wolcott was first settled in the 1730s but under the name Farmingbury. Not until the town’s incorporation in 1796 was the Wolcott name given to the area. There’s a tight-knit community to be found amongst the colorful wooded areas and small lakes.
Families love Wolcott for its friendly, down-home vibe, and the tranquil atmosphere that encourages outdoor recreation. There are a number of small lakes around the area, and just outside of Wolcott’s boundaries lies Lake Compounce, a family-friendly theme park and water park. Wolcott may be a small town, but there are plenty of employment opportunities in the neighboring communities of Waterbury and Bristol.
