High hills and deep valley - broad river and rocky falls.
In 1650 "Nawcatock", an Indian village. Today the river bears the name.
In 1678, "Amaugsuck", the fishing place where the waters pour down.
From 1738, Chusetown, after Chief Chuse, a scout in the French and Indian War.
In 1803, Rimmon Falls, and land with mill and shop, were purchased by General David Humphreys, friend and aide to General Washington.
In 1805, Humphreysville, to honor the General.
In 1806, one of the first large woolen mills to be successfully operated in the United States was built near the falls by General Humphreys.
In 1850, Seymour, named after the State Governor, held its first town meeting.
The mills have long since vanished - the falls remain, a reminder of a proud past.
