Enfield, Connecticut is a residential suburban community located in north-central Connecticut. Enfield was named and incorporated by the Colony of Massachusetts in 1683 and annexed to Connecticut in 1749. Primarily residential in nature, Enfield sits along the Connecticut River between two major New England cities and serves as a bedroom community for both. Conveniently located off I-84, Enfield is approximately 18 miles from Hartford, the state capital, and just 8 miles from Springfield, Massachusetts. Enfield boasts a colorful and varied history, with its milestones mirroring the progress of America as a whole. It was here in Enfield that Jonathan Edwards preached his famous sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” Delivered in 1741, the fire-and-brimstone sermon marked the height of the Great Awakening, a mass revival of Calvinist Christianity in colonial-era America. In 1793, the Shaker religious sect established a village in the town. Though the village was eventually disbanded and the area redeveloped, Shaker Road still runs past the land where Enfield Shaker Village once stood. In the 1830s, Colonel Augustus George Hazard opened a gunpowder mill in an area since known as Powder Hollow. In fact, most of the gunpowder used by the Union Army in the Civil War was manufactured in Enfield. More than 60 people dies in explosions at Powder Hollow while the mill was active, and in fact the mill blew up several times before it was closed for good in 1910. Today the ruins of the mill buildings and dams are open to the public.
