Salisbury Centre is a pleasant village. The
Indian name of the town was Weatog. 50 miles
W. N. W. from Hartford, and 22 N. W. from

Salisbury has long been celebrated for its ex-
cellent iron ore and iron manufactures. The
guns for some of the oldest ships of our present
navy were made at the old furnace in Salisbury.

The Old Ore Hill, 2 miles W. of Wansco-
pommuc Lake, has been worked since the year
1732. The large a'nd inexhaustible quantities
of iron ore found in Salisbury, and the abundant
supply of wood for charcoal, and other materials
necessary for smelting the ore, together with the
superior quality of iron, introduced other manu-
factures, and iron has continued from that time
the staple commodity of the town.
