Hezekiah Selden

Hezekiah Selden lived at Selden Hill. He signed a petition in 1859, along with others, to include Selden Hill into West Hartford because the families residing there were closely affiliated with the people of West Hartford in social relations, church privileges, and public school accommodations. In response, the General Assembly passed an act setting off from Farmington to West Hartford a tract of about three hundred thirty acres of land with several residences, establishing the western line of West Hartford at the present Reservoir Number One.
