The town of Pomfret is located in the middle of the capital city of Harford and Providence Rhode Island, approximately an hour's drive from both metropolitan centers.  Pomfret is known historically as the location of the Wolf Den, where General Israel Putnam killed the last wolf in the state.  Connecticut now maintains the cave and surrounding area as a state park, and the Wolf Den is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Pomfret is a growing community, evolving from its roots as a strictly agricultural development to a residential haven with a rural atmosphere.  Several farms still dot the 40 square miles of area, the majority being related to dairy production.  Others produce everything from apples and grapes to pumpkins.  The area is growing in popularity with new businesses.
