About Newington
Newington is a town in Hartford County, Connecticut. As of the 2000 census,
it had a total population of 29,306. At 16 feet in height, Mill Pond Falls,
located in central Newington at Mill Pond Park, is recognized as the smallest
natural waterfall in the United States. Named for a sawmill that was built there
in 1860, the falls contain a footbridge over the water and a path that continues
around Mill Pond. There is also an observation area with benches right below the
falls. The park is popular with local residents as a place to walk dogs, ice
skate, jog, and picnic; it also hosts the occasional wedding party and
festivals. It is open year round.
There are seven public schools in Newington, which serve residents of the town
of Newington as well some students from nearby Hartford, Connecticut. There are
four elementary schools, which teach pre-kindergarten through fourth grade.
Children attend the elementary school which is located in the district in which
they reside. The names of the elementary schools are Elizabeth Green, Anna
Reynolds, John Patterson, and John Chaffee. There are also two middle schools in
town, which teach grades five through eight. Students who attended Elizabeth
Green or Anna Reynolds elementary, attend Martin Kellogg Middle School, while
students who went to John Patterson or John Chaffee elementary, attend John
Wallace Middle School. Finally, there is one high school, Newington High School,
which is attended by graduates of both middle schools and teaches grades nine
