A little history
Killingly was incorporated in May 1708; Connecticut's colonial governor Gurdon Saltonstall suggested the name after his family's ancestral home of Killingley (Kellingly) in Yorkshire, England.
During the 1830s Killingly was Connecticut's largest producer of cotton goods, running textile mills on cotton shipped from the American South; by the 1930s local mills were known for producing window curtains.
