But in 1684, Thomas Judd and 35 other proprietors bought the land from the Indians and town history began. Around 1700, Obadiah Richards settled in the area of Upper Middlebury Road, and John Scott on Nova Scotia Hill Road. By 1710 they both had left for safer places. In 1729 a family named Gamsey settled in the section now cal 1 Guemseytown. Built in 1735, the Belden saltbox house on lower Main Street (next to the Saltbox Gift Shop) is the oldest house in Watertown. With 338 inhabitants, the First Ecclesiastical Society of Westbury was formed in 1738, and 42 years later, in 1780, Westbury separated from Waterbury and was named officially Walertown. For 15 years, however, it also included in its territory Plymouth and Thomaston. The eastern area was incoporated as Plymouth in 1795. It soon became the crossroads for a number of early highways, and 12 scheduled train nips between Watertown and Waterbury. John Trumbull, poet of the Revolutionary War, who also was a lawyer and judge, was bom here in 1750. Products that were first manufactured here include Merrill Heminway's spooled silk thread (1847), Wheeler and Wilson's lock-stitch sewing machine(1850), the Watertown Manufacturing Company's plastic shatterproof dinnerware (1940s), the first high-nap fabric used as imitation fur (Princeton Knitting Mills), and, of course, the Oakville Pin Shop. One of the oldest firms in Connecticut, Seymour Smith & Sons (manufacturer of cutting tools, such as garden shears and pruning equipment), continues in the Oakville section. A council-manager form of government in 1961 replaced more than 180 years of a town meeting-selectman form of government. Watertown has been the home of Taft School, a college preparatory institution, since 1893. An estimated 21,000 inhabitants now occupy the 29.8 square miles which w Watertown.
