Enfield
is located in Hartford County in north-central Connecticut. The population is approximately 45,000. As it borders the state of Massachusetts, Enfield is considered part of the city of Springfield, Massachusetts, which is only 4 miles away. The city of Hartford, Connecticut is about 20 miles to the south of Enfield. Enfield has a fascinating history. In 1793, a historic Shaker settlement was established in town, one of only nineteen scattered from Maine to Kentucky. This Utopian religious sect practiced celibate, communal living, and is today renowned for its simple architecture and furniture. Members of the Shaker village in Enfield eventually dwindled, however, and the settlement disbanded. The Enfield Historical District is listed on the National Register of Historic Districts and has many homes dating to the mid-1700s. The homes are of various styles, including Victorian, Georgian and 19th Century Revival. Enfield contains several other sections and neighborhoods, including Scitico, which is suburban in nature, with winding roads, pretty cul-de-sacs and a park. Shaker Pines in Enfield consists of tall, towering pines next to quaint lakeside homes. Shaker Pines was originally part of the historic Shaker settlement in Enfield, and the lake was built by the Shakers to power a mill.
