Rumor has it that originally Bear Hill was originally called Bare Hill due to the charcoal making that went on there. The hillsides suffered from slash and burn syndrome, as much of Connecticut did. Now that is a distant memory. Homes are nestled in the woods and hillsides, making for a wonderful rural woodland setting.
