COPPER MINES ONCE
 WERE OPERATED HERE
Gold and Other Metals Found AIsO-Indians Once
 Hunted on Site

Many or the families now prominent in the city or New Britain have been identified with the growth and de- velopment of the community since the carly sixteen hundreds when those hardy farmers such as John Clark, Daniel Hart, Thomas Stanley and his six sons, Jonathan Griswold. Robert Woodruff, Ben jamin Judd, Joseph Kill bourne and others cleared their DOT tions of the WIG odland and began till- ing their farms.
 Tho beginning of New Britain dates back to March fe, 1881, when the grant of Robert, Earl of Warwick to Niscount Say and Seal, Robert Lord and other conveyed the territory Of Conrectncut and included Pennington, New Britain and Berlin. The grant had been obtained previously from tho English and the Indians
 Fhe New Britain section at that time was expected 10 develop into a profitable mining region and copper. lead, gold, asphsltnm, calcite crystals and other minerals were found here but not enough 10 warrant the ex- pcnse Of production. although for some time a copper mine was worked near the southern end of what is now South Main street. It finally was abandoned as unprontable.
 Fossil Remains Found Here
 Fossil remains have been found in and about New Britain and in 1880 the entire skeleton of "Mastodon Americanus" was round near the cen- ter of the city.
 The territory now embraced by the town Of Berlin and the southern part Of New Britain comprised a portion of the hunting grounds Of the Malta besett Indians. The warlile MOhawks under control or the French often made excursions from their hoInc grounds in inc Hudson valley into this section and they were much feared by the English and the native indians.
 Incorporated In 1886.
 Tn l7S6 the New Britain society was incorporated and one year later saw the death, of captain stephen Lee. one of the most active in secur- ing the organization. FarLAingtOh. New Britain. Berlin and Eensington were known as ''T-he Great S.ainp'' The house occupied al inc south end Of Last street. the home of Jonathan Lewis and his son. Adonijah. Is sup posed tO nave been the first house Of ile Great swamp parish built within inc limits Of New Britain.
 Before the incOI poratiUn Of Sea Britain as a separate and distinct sO- ciety fschool society," the village had no name. There wete HBiu four houses within a half mile Of what now constitutes the center 0f the city. Stanley Quarter belonged 10 Farm ington. the north part Of East street 10 Newington and the south part fO kensington. The name New Brit ain" vas given the place al the sug- gestion Of Col. Isaac Ice.
