What You Should Know About Simsbury
Though Simsbury may not be the biggest city in the state (with a population of 23,511 as of 2010), it has a vibrant history. As Connecticut's 21st town, it was settled as part of Windsor but later broke apart into another city. It was an essential site during King Philip's War and has remained a critical and well-to-do neighborhood with many businesses and industries.
It has been the home of many surprising people, including hockey players and coaches (such as Vince Cazzetta and Sean Burke), novelists like Sarah Pratt McLean Greene, Martin Luther King Jr (who worked here during the summers), and even legendary and award-winning actress Sigourney Weaver, who attended Ethel Walker School. This makes Simsbury a fascinating historical destination.

Simsbury has many great attractions that make it well worth a visit. For example, the area has many parks, such as Talcott Mountain State Park, Heublein Tower, and Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge. These historical areas all influence the area and provide educational interests that can keep residents and visitors engaged.
Other places worth visiting include Rosedale Farms & Vineyards, Phelps Tavern Museum, Simsbury Farms Golf Course, Simsbury Airport, Ensign-Bickford Industries, and the Pinchot Sycamore. This tree is the largest in the state and is still a sight to see according to 1998 measurements; it is 95 feet tall with an average diameter of 140 feet, and it is likely even more significant these days.

Moving to Simsbury, CT. Resource Guide
Simsbury helps its residents with many utilities that ensure they are comfortable in their homes. For example, a handful of companies provide electricity and heat, each of which can be chosen by that homeowner. However, trash, snow removal, waste management, and other steps are taken by the city and paid for at a competitive price.
The city's recreation department also handles other public works items, such as taking care of parks, building maintenance, and much more. This group's primary purpose is to ensure that the city remains comfortable and effortlessly livable. And with such a high-income group of people in the area, they usually have more than enough money to handle this need.
