Groton

Built around farms and landing places on the Thames River, Groton grew into a Connecticut community closely associated with the U.S. submarine industry. The town occupies the river’s eastern bank near its meeting with Long Island Sound, opposite New London. Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park recalls the 1781 Battle of Groton Heights during the American Revolution. Groton is also home to General Dynamics Electric Boat, a major builder of U.S. Navy submarines, while the Submarine Force Library and Museum preserves USS Nautilus, the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine.
