Canaan, Connecticut

The town of Canaan, is located in the Northwestern corner of Connecticut on the east bank of the Housatonic River. The town, named for the Biblical land of Canaan, was auctioned at New London in 1738 as were most of the towns up in the corner. Canaan is made up of mountains on the south and east, with a plain along the Housatonic, from which cultivated valleys reach back into the hills. It contains major portions of the Housatonic State Forest.  
 
 
 

In the past, Canaan was devoted primarily to agriculture, sheep raising, and iron mining. The divisions of interests between the northern and southern portions of the town appeared in the 18th Century, causing first a division into two ecclesiastical societies and then, in 1858, the split into two towns. The older, northern portion became North Canaan, while the southern part retained the name Canaan but known locally as Falls Village.
