История
Первоначально местность, которая сейчас называется Эллингтон, была названа коренными жителями «Weexskashuck», что переводится как «Великое Болото». Первые поселенцы называли эту территорию Большим Болотом или Гошеном. В 1671 году город Виндзор приобрел земли Восточного Виндзора и Эллингтона у коренных американцев, чтобы компенсировать потерю земель в результате пограничного спора между Коннектикутом и Массачусетсом. Однако никто не пытался заселить эти плодородные земли в течение следующих 50 лет. Сэмюэл Пинни был первым поселенцем на территории современного Эллингтона (в городе его именем названа улица Пинни-Роуд). В 1733 году Эллингтон был основан как приход города Виндзор. Затем Восточный Виндзор отделился от Виндзора и в мае 1768 года владел землями, которые сегодня входят в состав Восточного Виндзора, Южного Виндзора и Эллингтона. Эллингтон отделился двадцать лет спустя и был официально зарегистрирован как город в мае 1786 года. В основном известный как сельскохозяйственное сообщество, район Кристалл-Лейк некоторое время был популярным местом для летнего отдыха. В Эллингтоне до сих пор значительная часть земли используется для сельского хозяйства, включая животноводство и выращивание кукурузы. Единственным представителем Эллингтона на голосовании по принятию Конституции Соединенных Штатов штатом Коннектикут был Эбенезер Нэш. Нэш был антифедералистом и проголосовал против ратификации, которая была одобрена большинством голосов – 128 против 40. В Эллингтоне находится один из старейших в Америке придорожных мемориалов, посвященный памяти мальчика, погибшего в дорожно-транспортном происшествии. Камень в юго-западном углу города отмечает место, где Сэмюэль Найт погиб, «погибнув под колесом телеги, перекатившимся через его голову на десятом году жизни, 8 ноября 1812 года». Христианский гимн «Я люблю украдкой уйти» был написан Фиби Хинсдейл Браун в Эллингтоне, вдохновленная личным опытом в августе 1818 года. В конце XIX и начале XX века Эллингтон стал центром общины еврейских фермеров-иммигрантов, которых здесь поселила Еврейская колонизационная ассоциация, основанная филантропом бароном Морисом де Хиршем. Они построили синагогу «Congregation Knesseth Israel», которая до сих пор стоит и используется активной общиной современного ортодоксального иудаизма, а также включена в Национальный реестр исторических мест. 1 января 1967 года Эллингтон попал в национальные новости, когда его жители помогли городской пожарной службе спасти пилота, у которого возникли проблемы с двигателем, и который не мог найти взлетно-посадочную полосу в тумане, видимость в котором была ограничена до 60 метров. Под руководством и благодаря быстрому мышлению старшего офицера полиции штата Коннектикут Лайонела Лабреша десятки людей собрались на неосвещенной взлетно-посадочной полосе города, Хайд-Филд, и осветили полосу своими фарами, что позволило пилоту безопасно приземлиться. В 1991 году Эллингтон был предложен в качестве потенциального места для захоронения радиоактивных отходов низкого уровня. Решительное несогласие местных жителей вынудило штат отказаться от этого плана. Вступая в XXI век, Эллингтон показал 6-й по темпам роста среди всех городов Коннектикута и переживает изменения, связанные с переходом от сельского сельскохозяйственного города к пригородному сообществу. Ярким примером этих изменений стало вытеснение местного супермаркета Ellington конкуренцией со стороны региональной сети супермаркетов Big Y, когда новый Big Y был построен рядом со старым супермаркетом. О происшествии был снят независимый фильм под названием «Супермаркет».
Originally the area in what is now Ellington was named by the natives as “Weexskashuck” which translates to “Great Marsh”. The earliest settlers called the area Great Marsh or Goshen. In 1671, the town of Windsor, purchased the land of East Windsor and Ellington from the Native Americans to recover land loss from the Connecticut Massachusetts border dispute. Though no one attempted to settle the fertile lands for another 50 years. Samuel Pinney was the first settler in today's Ellington (Pinney Road bears his name in town). In 1733, Ellington was established as a Parish of the town of Windsor. East Windsor then split off from Windsor and held land in what is today's East Windsor, South Windsor and Ellington in May 1768. Ellington split off twenty years later and incorporated itself in May 1786. Mostly known as an agricultural community, the Crystal Lake section of town was for a while a popular summer resort location. Ellington still has a significant amount of property dedicated to agriculture including cattle and corn farming. Ellington's sole representative to the voting on the adoption of the United States Constitution by Connecticut was Ebenezer Nash. Nash was an anti federalist and voted against the ratification, which passed 128–40. Ellington is home to one of America's oldest roadside memorials, remembering a boy killed in a road accident. A stone in the southwest corner of the town marks the site where Samuel Knight was killed "by a cartwheel rolling over his head in the 10th year of his age, Nov 8, 1812". The Christian hymn, "I love to steal awhile away" was written by Phoebe Hinsdale Brown in Ellington based on a personal experience in August 1818. During the late 19th century and early 20th century, Ellington became the center of a community of Jewish immigrant farmers who were settled there by the philanthropist Baron Maurice de Hirsch's Jewish Colonization Association. They built a synagogue, Congregation Knesseth Israel, that is still standing and in use by an active Modern Orthodox congregation today and is on the National Register of Historic Places. On January 1, 1967, Ellington made national news when its residents assisted the city fire department in rescuing a pilot whose plane was having engine trouble and was unable to locate a runway in a fog that cut visibility to 200 feet. Under the direction and quick thinking of Resident State Trooper, Lionel Labreche, Connecticut State Police, dozens of people assembled at the town's unlit airstrip, Hyde Field, and illuminated the runway with their headlights, allowing the pilot to land safely. In 1991, Ellington was proposed as a potential site for a low level nuclear waste dump. Strong dissent from area residents forced the state to abandon the plan. As it enters the 21st century, Ellington has had the 6th fastest growth rate of all the towns in Connecticut, and has been experiencing changes in growing from a rural farming town into a suburban community. Exemplative of this change was the displacement of the locally owned Ellington Supermarket by competition from the regional Big Y supermarket chain when a new Big Y was built adjacent to the older supermarket. An independent film entitled The Supermarket, was made about the incident.

Железная дорога
Эллингтон ранее обслуживался железнодорожной линией длиной в семь миль, построенной в 1876 году, соединявшей Вернон и Мелроуз и примерно следовавшей вдоль улиц Пинни-стрит и Саддс Милл Роуд. Железнодорожная линия прекратила функционировать в середине 20-го века. Центральная железная дорога Новой Англии (следующая вдоль реки Виллимантик) также ненадолго пересекает самый восточный край Эллингтона, но не делает остановок.
Ellington was formerly served by a seven mile long rail line built in 1876 running from Vernon to Melrose, that roughly paralleled Pinney St. and Sadds Mill Rd. The rail line became defunct in the middle part of the 20th century. The New England Central Railroad (following the Willimantic River) also briefly clips through the very eastern edge of Ellington, though has no stops.
