DescriptionMap of the borough of Danielsonville as it spans the towns of Killingly and Brooklyn, Connecticut. Killingly, colored yellow, is shown from Westfield Cemetery to the north, Broad Street to the east, the Quinebaug River to the south, and Maple Street to the west. The Norwich and Worcester Railroad line runs north-south through Killingly. Brooklyn, colored red, is on the other side of the river. Danielsonville is located primarily in Killingly, near the river. Roads are labeled and lined with residences and businesses, which are labeled with the owner's name or the name of the business. On the left side is a directory of Danielsonville that contains listings for attornies, agents, the bank, druggists, physicians and dentists, merchants and dealers, a jeweler, an engineer, manufacturers, hotels, the sheriff, milliners, carpenters and builders, painters, a photographer, a blacksmith and a collector.
Label TextIn 1854, Danielsonville became a borough combining the villages of Danielsonville, Westville, and Tiffany. In 1895, its name was officially shortened to Danielson, the name it goes by today. This map was part of an atlas of Windham and Tolland Counties printed and published in Hartford in 1869.
