Understand
The area that is now Hinsdale used to be Mohican land, bordering land that was Pocumtuc and Mohican. It was first colonized by Europeans in 1763. It was incorporated as "Partridgefield" in 1771, named for Oliver Partridge, one of the three purchasers of the town. The Western Parish of Partridgefield broke away from its eastern half and incorporated in 1804, renaming itself for the family of the reverend Theodore Hinsdale. Hinsdale owned an important woolen mill, which remained important to the economy of the town until it closed during the Great Depression.
