Enfield: Border Town Between Connecticut and Massachusetts
Enfield sits on the Connecticut-Massachusetts state line, closer to Springfield than to Hartford by highway. The town was originally part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and did not become part of Connecticut until 1749, after decades of boundary disputes. That dual identity persists today. Many Enfield residents commute north to Springfield or the Pioneer Valley rather than south to Hartford, and the town's commercial corridors along Route 5 and Enfield Street reflect a mix of both markets.
For much of the 20th century, Bigelow-Sanford Carpet Company was the town's economic anchor. At its peak, the factory employed thousands and produced carpets sold nationwide. The plant closed in stages through the 1970s and 1980s, and the sprawling complex along the Freshwater Brook was eventually demolished. Retail development replaced some of the industrial base, particularly along Hazard Avenue, where Enfield Square mall opened in 1971. The mall has since struggled with vacancy, following the broader decline of enclosed shopping centers.
The population of roughly 45,212 makes Enfield one of the larger towns in Hartford County. Asnuntuck Community College provides two-year degrees and workforce training. The town maintains over 30 parks, and Scantic River State Park runs along the eastern boundary. Interstate 91 passes through the center of town, making it a frequent stopping point for travelers between New England's two largest metro areas.
