History of Newhallville
The Newhallville area was a rural farming area until the middle of the 19th century. The Farmington Canal was built through the area in the late 1820s, but it did not bring the development that its promoters had hoped for. In the early 1850s the canal was converted to a railroad line, and George Newhall established a small factory near the railroad where he manufactured carriages. Other small factories followed, along with workers’ houses and a boarding house that Newhall built in 1860 for his unmarried male employees.
In 1870, the Winchester Repeating Arms Company began operations in Newhallville, which became its headquarters and center of production. By 1887, Winchester’s factory employed more than 600 people. By the early 20th century, the plant covered more than six city blocks and employed more than 1,000 workers. The manufacturing complex reached its peak of activity during World War II, when it employed more than 19,000 people.
