'''Hartland''' is a town in [[Hartford County, Connecticut|Hartford County]], [[Connecticut]], United States. The population was 1,901 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=0600000US0900337140| title=Census - Geography Profile: Hartland town, Hartford County, Connecticut| publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]| access-date=December 16, 2021}}</ref> The rural town is part of the [[Northwest Hills Planning Region, Connecticut|Northwest Hills Planning Region]] and forms the northwestern border of Hartford County. Currently, the town consists of two unincorporated areas, East and West Hartland, entirely separated by the northern portion of the [[Barkhamsted Reservoir]]. A third area, Hartland Hollow (also referred to as Hartland Center), was flooded when the reservoir was completed in 1940.

==History==
Originally referenced as the "Western Lands," the unsettled area was the subject of a 37-year controversy over competing claims by the [[Connecticut Colony]] and the towns of [[Hartford, Connecticut|Hartford]] and [[Windsor, Connecticut|Windsor]].<ref name="HHS History">{{Cite web| url=https://www.hartlandhistoricalsociety.com/history-of-hartland| title=History of Hartland |publisher=Hartland Historical Society| access-date=December 16, 2023}}</ref> After the Colony's General Court was petitioned in 1724 to settle the dispute, it divided the lands among the three parties, which was followed by a confirming patent issued by Governor [[Joseph Talcott]] in 1729.

After another division agreement, Hartford's proprietors were granted a patent in 1732 for four parcels encompassing the lands now known as Hartland, [[Winchester, Connecticut|Winchester]], and [[New Hartford, Connecticut|New Hartford]]. Land in Hartland was proportionally granted on the basis of Hartford's 1720 Grand List. In 1733, the 67 landowners organized the Proprietors of Hartland association, and received a decree from the General Court for "Hartford land," then shortened to Hartland.<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://www.hartlandct.org/|title=Town of Hartland, Connecticut|publisher=Town of Hartland, Connecticut| access-date=December 16, 2023}}</ref>

In 1754, Captain/Deacon Thomas Giddings Jr II (1723 -1790) and his wife Mary Coult became the town's first permanent settlers.<ref name="HHS History" /> In 1761, the 44 families of Hartland petitioned the General Court, and Hartland was incorporated as an independent town that same year.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hartford Courant |title=Hartland |url=https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-xpm-1996-07-25-9607200445-story.html |access-date=September 15, 2019 |publisher=Hartford Courant |date=July 25, 1996}}</ref>

==Geography==
The town is bisected by the [[Farmington River]]'s east branch which became the northern section of Barkhamsted Reservoir after construction of the [[Saville Dam]] in 1940.<ref name="connecticuthistory.org">{{Cite web|url=https://connecticuthistory.org/barkhamsted-reservoir-construction-washes-away-a-community/|title=Barkhamsted Reservoir Construction Washes Away a Community|date=December 21, 2020|accessdate=June 19, 2021}}</ref> The reservoir and surrounding land, owned by the [[Metropolitan District Commission of Connecticut|Metropolitan District Commission]] (MDC) water authority, fills the hollow between East and West mountains.

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the town has a total area of {{convert|89.6|km2|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|85.7|km2|order=flip}} is land and {{convert|3.9|km2|order=flip}}, or 4.39%, is water.<ref name="Census 2010">{{Cite web| url=http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/0600000US0900337140| archive-url=https://archive.today/20200212154942/http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/0600000US0900337140| url-status=dead| archive-date=February 12, 2020| title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Hartland town, Hartford County, Connecticut| publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder| access-date=November 28, 2012}}</ref> Bounded on the north by the [[Massachusetts]] border, Hartland is drained by the [[Farmington River]], a [[tributary]] of the [[Connecticut River]].  The [[42nd parallel north]] and the [[73rd meridian west]] meet in the central western part of town.

Hartland is home to parts of three Connecticut State forests, [[Peoples State Forest]], [[Tunxis State Forest]], and [[American Legion State Forest]]<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 2014 |title=Department of Energy & Environmental Protection Property |url=http://cteco.uconn.edu/maps/town/DEPProp/DEEPProp_Hartland.pdf |url-status=}}</ref> The [[Barkhamsted Reservoir]], which cuts through the middle of Hartland, is 11 miles long and holds approximately 30 billion gallon reservoir, and serves the primary source of drinking water for most of Hartford County. The construction of the reservoir and the Saville Dam required the relocation of over 1,000 people, four cemeteries, and numerous family farms in Hartland and Barkhamsted.<ref name="connecticuthistory.org"/> In total, over 70% of Hartland's land, or over 15,500 acres, is permanently designated as open space, encompassing state forests and parks, watersheds, and public land conservation trusts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://patch.com/connecticut/brookfield/map-how-much-of-your-town-is-open-space|title=MAP: How Much of Your Town Is Open Space?|date=April 13, 2014|website=Brookfield, CT Patch|accessdate=June 19, 2021}}</ref>
