Do you know of Square Pond ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Square Pond. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Square Pond.<1>

Our sources for Square Pond (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Square Pond other than they indicate that Square Pond would be found somewhere in Tolland County, Connecticut.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1835 and closed  in 1889.
