Winchester Center: A Litchfield County CDP Near Winsted
Winchester Center is a census-designated place within the town of Winchester, with a population of approximately 10,830. The CDP encompasses the more populated areas around and including the borough of Winsted, which sits at the confluence of the Mad River and Still River in the Litchfield Hills. Winchester was incorporated in 1771, and Winsted, its principal village, developed as a manufacturing center powered by the rivers that converge here. The two names are used almost interchangeably by locals, though technically Winchester is the town and Winsted is the borough within it.
Winsted's industrial past centered on clock-making, hardware, and textiles. The Gilbert Clock Company operated here for decades, and the Winsted Hosiery Company was once a major employer. The 1955 flood, caused by the remnants of Hurricane Diane, devastated the downtown area when the Mad River overflowed its banks. Flood control measures were implemented afterward, but the physical and economic damage left lasting marks on the community. Parts of Main Street were rebuilt, and the flood remains a defining event in local memory.
Highland Lake, a 444-acre natural lake in the western part of Winchester, serves as the town's primary recreational feature. Summer cottages and year-round homes line its shores. The American Mural Project, an ongoing installation by artist Ellen Griesedieck, occupies a former factory building and aims to be the largest indoor collaborative artwork in the world. Route 44 connects Winchester to Norfolk and the northwest corner of the state, while Route 8 provides highway access south toward Torrington and Waterbury.
