Neighborhood InfoWallingford is a town in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 45,135 at the 2010 census.[2] In 2015, real estate blog HomeSnacks.com ranked Wallingford the second best place to live in Connecticut, based on data including median income, housing, the school system, and quality of life.[3][4] ContentsHistoryWallingford was established on October 10, 1667, when the Connecticut General Assembly authorized the "making of a village on the east river" to thirty-eight planters and freemen. In terms of Wallingford's manufacturing and design history, silver-producing companies like Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co. and R. Wallace & Sons are of particular note. Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co. as well as Wallingford's Watrous Manufacturing later became part of the International Silver Company, which was headquartered in the neighboring city of Meriden.[5][6] Many designs by these silver producers have been collected by many American museums including, most notably, the Dallas Museum of Art.[7][8] For Modernist designs, these were featured in a high-profile travelling museum exhibition in 2005-07 (Dallas, Washington, Miami Beach, Reno and Memphis).[5] The designs have been exhibited since the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition.[9] In 1880-81, Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co. was awarded the First Prize Medal competing with 44 other silver manufacturers from the United States and Europe at the Melbourne International Exhibition in Australia.[10] Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co. was the firm of Wallingford-native Samuel Simpson (1814-1894). In c. 1895, the company operated large factories in Wallingford and Montreal, Canada.[11] Wallingford has diversified its commercial and industrial base over the past decade attracting high-technology industries as compared to traditional heavy manufacturing. It is the home of a large variety of industries and major corporations spanning the spectrum of the medical, health care, service, high-tech specialty metal manufacturing and research development. The development of the Barnes Industrial Park, Casimir Pulaski Industrial Park, Wharton Brook Industrial Park, and the South Turnpike Road area have greatly contributed to this transition. The Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, the town’s largest taxpayer, has established a research and development facility in Wallingford’s MedWay Industrial Park. An Interchange Zone which permits very restrictive commercial development of office parks, research and development centers and hotels has been created at the intersection of Interstate 91 and Route 68.
