A group of elm trees formerly stood in a small triangle in the intersection of Quaker Lane South and New Britain Avenue, the old south road to Farmington. Ebenezer Faxon and other residents in southern West Hartford planted the elm saplings to celebrate the surrender of British General Burgoyne to American General Gates at Saratoga, New York, in October, 1777. The trees grew to great size, lived for many years, and suggested the name Elmwood for the neighborhood. When they were removed, the triangle was maintained for some time as a flower garden.
