The Hartford Courant says that Corn field Point on the Sound, where new signal station is to be erected, possess es historic interest. In 1885. when Say brook was settled, the Indians were so troublesome that the settlers used to go in boats from the fort around to this point, where they raised corn and po- tatoes. Hence the name Cornfield Point. It was the custom at that time to divide the garrison into three parts, one part to stay and protect the fort while the rest went to the field, part to till the ground and part to keep of the Indians.
