Canton was the European name of the capital of the province of Kwangtung, 'wide east' of which Canton is the Portuguese corruption. Earlier names of the town were Suffrage and West Simsbury (Parish). From "Connecticut Place Names, by Arthur Hughes and Morse Allen, published by the Connecticut Historical Society.

Canton For the naming of Canton in 1806, there are two explanations. The first is that it was named after Canton, China, beause of the growing interest of Connecticut in the China trade. Another explanation comes from Ephraim Mills' (1782-1863) daughter, Mrs. R.O. Humphrey, whose memory goes back into the '40s.

She often heard her father say that he had suggested the name "It came from Mr, Mills' interest in the Swiss people and their ardent patriotism, and was suggested to his mind by their territorial division into cantons. The name appealed to him, partly because of its pleasant sound, and its being so easy to speak and to write." The land of the town was divided into four cantons North and South A ten year old boy called us and said, "She's been hit by a car. No one is helping her. Please. Do something' Statewide Search -JL.
