Plainfield in Connecticut's Quiet Corner
Tucked into the northeastern section of Connecticut known as the Quiet Corner, Plainfield is a town of about 15,498 people spread across several villages including Moosup, Wauregan, and Central Village. The Quinebaug River runs through the middle of town, and the Moosup River joins it near the village of the same name. Settlement dates to the early 1700s, and the town was incorporated in 1699 from land that was originally part of the broader Canterbury grant.
Textile mills powered Plainfield's economy for much of its history. The Wauregan Company built a large cotton mill complex in the 1850s that included worker housing, a company store, and a chapel. The village of Wauregan still shows the layout of a classic New England mill village, though the factories have long since closed. Plainfield also gained attention as the home of the Plainfield Greyhound Park, which operated from 1976 until its closure in 2005 after Connecticut voters rejected a slot machine proposal. The shuttered track site has been the subject of redevelopment discussions for years without resolution.
Today Plainfield functions primarily as a residential community. Many residents work in Norwich, Willimantic, or across the state line in Rhode Island. Route 14A connects the town's villages, and Interstate 395 provides a north-south corridor linking to the larger population centers. The school district operates Plainfield High School, and the town maintains several small parks along the Quinebaug River.
