Tolland County Connecticut

County Government in Connecticut was abolished in 1960. The eight counties continue solely as geographical subdivisions of the state.

Tolland was originally formed in 1785, from towns in neighboring Windham County. The county boundaries are coextensive with the Tolland Judicial Distrcit.

Fictional character "Pip," from Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, is penned by the author as hailing from Tolland County.
