Windham County is a county in Connecticut, United States, in the state’s northeastern
\ncorner, about 30 miles east of Hartford. It had a population of 116,418 at the 2020 census,
\nConnecticut’s least populous county, and covers 513 square miles (1,330 km2) of land
\ncentred near 41°50′N 71°59′W.<\/p>\n

Connecticut abolished county government statewide in 1960, so Windham County has no county
\nseat and no county administration today — its FIPS code, 09015, survives only as a
\nstatistical label. Brooklyn served as the county’s seat and courthouse town from 1726, and
\nWillimantic, part of the Town of Windham, held that role from 1893 until the 1960 abolition; its
\npostal code is 06226. The county comprises 15 towns, Connecticut’s base unit of local
\ngovernment, and it runs on Eastern Time.<\/p>\n

Towns & Villages in Windham County<\/h2>\n

Windham County has 19 named places on record: its 15 incorporated towns, which govern every
\nacre of the county between them, and four villages within those towns that the Census Bureau
\nrecognizes as separate census-designated places (CDPs). Connecticut has no additional layer of
\nincorporated cities, boroughs or civil townships below the town — a “town” here
\nis a full municipality, not a subdivision. The Town column below shows which of the 15 towns each
\nvillage sits inside.<\/p>\n

Willimantic and Danielson are the two population centers most people mean when they think of
\n“Windham County” — together they hold about a fifth of the county’s
\nresidents, though neither is its own municipality. Moosup and North Grosvenordale are smaller
\nmill villages, both without a 2020 CDP population count published separately from their towns, so
\nthose cells read —.<\/p>\n
