Eastern Connecticut and Western Rhode Island's Preferred Realtors^®  

From its beginnings as a town in 1708, Killingly's numerous waterways and falls were a strong influence in its development. Sawmills and gristmills were built along waterways and the mill sites made nearby properties more suitable for manufacturing than for agriculture uses. Thus, Killingly grew up as a collection of small mill villages, each with its own churches, schools, stores and tenements.

The development of the villages of Attawaugan, Ballouville, Dayville, East Killingly, Rogers, South Killingly and the Borough of Danielson was made possible by the prudent investments and foresight of several early families, including the Days, Danielsons and Alexanders.

Killingly has been proud to be known as the birthplace of several figures of national importance. Mary Kies was the first woman in the United States to receive a patent. Charles Lewis Tiffany, founder of Tiffany's in New York was born and lived much of his life here. Henry Hammond was a prominent early abolitionist.
