Lyme, New London County, Connecticut
Welcome to the Town of Lyme web site. Lyme is a small, rural town, population 2,016, nestled in the hills of southeastern Connecticut along the shore of the Connecticut River. The Town of Lyme has its own distinct qualities and characteristics and is a separate entity from its neighbor the Town of Old Lyme.
Lyme was settled by Europeans in 1664. The Eight Mile River valley area was purchased from a native American named Chapeto in 1669. Later, the Joshuatown area was purchased from a native American named Josuah, who was the third son of the indian Sachem Uncas.
Lyme now has two very small commercial centers, Hamburg Cove and Hadlyme. Lyme is the home to Gillette's Castle, the Hamburg Fair and its own Fourth of July parade.
Lyme and Old Lyme educate their students jointly and are the two towns that comprise Regional School District 18.
I hope you enjoy our website and that it provides you with the general information that you need regarding the Town of Lyme.
