Naugatuck River
The Naugatuck River is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed April 1, 2011〕 river in the US state of Connecticut. It carves out the Naugatuck River Valley. Its waters flow from north to south through western Connecticut to the Housatonic River at Derby, Connecticut and thence to Long Island Sound. The Plume and Atwood Dam in Thomaston, completed in 1960 following the Great Flood of 1955, creates a reservoir on the river and is the last barrier to salmon and trout migrating up from the sea.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Housatonic Valley Association )〕
==History==
Various Algonquian bands originally inhabited the Naugatuck River Valley, and were often included in the Wappinger tribe. The name "Naugatuck" comes from the Algonquian word for "lone tree by the fishing place".〔(Naugatuck Public Schools :: Welcome to Naugatuck Public Schools ). Naugy.net. Retrieved on 2013-07-15.〕 The valley was later settled in the 17th century by English colonists. Given its rocky soil, which was not good for farming, and the high potential for water power, the Naugatuck Valley became an industrialized area in the 19th century. It has been associated with the brass and copper industries.
