History
Long Hill was originally and entirely settled as a part of Stratford, Connecticut, settled in 1639. By the mid-1650s, the Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation began to petition the Court of the Colony of Connecticut for compensation for lost territory taken by the encroaching English settlement at Stratford. This legal action led the court to set the town boundary on May 15, 1656, to include all of the territory 12 miles (19 km) inland from Long Island Sound between the Housatonic River and the Fairfield town line, including all of Long Hill.
The English continued to purchase territory from the Native Americans, entering the deeds of transfer into the land records. In April 1662, Lt. Joseph Judson, Joseph Hawley, and John Minor secured the last written deed of transfer from the Paugussett Indian Nation for the entire western part of Trumbull, referred to simply as the "Long Hill purchase" lying west of land already purchased. Land on Long Hill was granted to individuals shortly after 1662.
