The Connecticut League of History Organizations

Keeping history alive in Connecticut

Incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1950, the Connecticut League of History Organizations encourages and supports the activities of state historical organizations, enhances knowledge of state history, promotes professional standards, serves as a network for the exchange of information, and advances historical interests at the state level.

The Connecticut Historical Society is a non-profit museum, library, and education center, which collects, preserves and interprets the history of the diverse people - past and present - who have made our state their home. Established in Hartford in 1825, The Connecticut Historical Society is the seventh oldest historical society in the nation and houses one of the most distinguished museum and library collections in New England.

The Connecticut Humanities Council was established in 1974 as an independent public foundation. Our mission is to provide opportunities for all people in Connecticut to rediscover the joy of lifelong learning, to see themselves in the full context of their history and heritage, and to explore the infinite varieties of human thought and experience contained in our literature and expressed in our arts that give shape and direction to our lives.

As our history section says, our town was named after Prince William of Orange, sometime before the incorporation of 1822. As early as 1815, many families from Connecticut moved to the Connecticut Reserve in Ohio. The name Orange was once again used, this time to honor the hometown of several of its early settlers. Orange Village was originally part of Orange Township that was formed in 1820. Of interest in the history of Orange Village, is the name Serenus Burnett, who is considered by Orange Village to be their first settler in 1815 . History notes that Serenus' father Edmund was baptised at the Presbyterian Church of Orange, NJ ca 1750.

Like so many New World communities, settlement in Newark stemmed from religious controversy. Founded by a group of Puritans from Connecticut having been shocked by the increasing interference of civil authorities in the affairs of the church.They emigrated to New Jersey in 1666 to found what is now the First Presbyterian Church of Newark. As more settlers arrived, more land was purchased from the Leni-Lenape Indians. Among the negotiators was Robert Treat, a name often associated with the founding of Milford, CT in 1639. As with North Milford, the distance traveled for religious services caused a separation and in 1780, Orange, New Jersey was incorporated, no doubt honoring William of Orange whose name was a household word among the Puritans.
