West Hartford was established after breaking off from the Hartford Colony, which was founded by Reverend Thomas Hooker. West Hartford is adjacent to Hartford and borders numerous towns such as Bloomfield, Newington, Farmington and Avon. Large areas of the community have gone through significant transformations over the years, including The Blue Back Square area, which draws patrons seeking retail shopping, a movie theater, and a dining and nightlife experience. The town’s bustling downtown area, known as “The Center,” has been the community’s main hub since the late 17th century and is complemented by rural landscape to the west. Talcott Mountain is a popular hiking spot for those who enjoy some fresh air and recreation.
West Hartford is home to numerous private schools and colleges including Renbrook School, an independent and private day school. Other schools include Northwest Catholic High School, Hebrew High School of New England, Kingswood Oxford School, the University of Saint Joseph and the University of Hartford as well as The American School for the Deaf, the nation’s first permanent school for the deaf, celebrating 200 years of excellence.
Elizabeth Park is on the border of West Hartford and Hartford, with just over 100 acres of formal gardens, green space, recreational facilities, walking loops as well as The Pond House Cafe. In 1983 Elizabeth Park was awarded by the National Register of Historic Places.
