History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The first settler arrived circa 1814. The town of Ellington was formed on April 1, 1824 from the town of Gerry, and Cherry Creek was taken off on May 4, 1829. On September 8, 1865, a 4 hour rainstorm produced a flood that damaged much of the town. It carried away nearly all the bridges, and threatened destruction of the village. The hotel and Baptist Church were reportedly swept into the street. The first religious services were held at the house of James Bates in 1817 by Rev. Daniel Hadley.
