The historical community of Tolland serves as the seat of government for Tolland County. Sound planning has enabled the town leaders to promote growth in recent decades and still preserve many of the area’s treasures, including wooded open space, a charming town green, and a wide array of parks and recreational preserves. In addition to the traditional agricultural activity, Tolland is home to numerous manufacturing companies and professional services. Good schools, excellent transportation amenities, and quality rural living within easy access to major cultural and commercial centers have encouraged further growth and development.
