Manchester

Along the Hockanum River in central Connecticut, Manchester is a community whose character has been shaped by the waterpower and industrial legacy of its mill district. Flowing west through town, the Hockanum continues toward the Connecticut River. The Cheney Brothers Historic District preserves streets, mill buildings and workers’ housing linked to the silk company that made Manchester an important manufacturing centre. Downtown lies west of the former mills, while Case Mountain and eastern Manchester’s wooded trails add a more rural edge. The Manchester Road Race has been held here each Thanksgiving Day since 1927.
