About Stafford Springs
Stafford Springs is a census-designated place located in Stafford, Connecticut, United States. The population was 4,780 at the 2020 Census. The village was a borough until November 1991, when it was disincorporated.
Located near the source of the Willimantic River, the textile and machine-shop industries expanded rapidly due to the village's strategic water access, becoming the backbone of the local economy. The village has the Holt Memorial Fountain and the former railroad station. A portion of the village center was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2025.
In the 18th century, the spring at Stafford Springs was famous for its reputed ability to cure "the gout, sterility, pulmonary, hysterics, etc." In 1771, John Adams, then a young lawyer, visited Stafford Springs for several days after suffering from overwork and anxiety.
Stafford Springs was once the headquarters of Station C of the Connecticut State Police, and subsequently was the site of the Troop C Barracks.
Connecticut Routes 19, 32, 140, and 190 pass through or originate in the village.
