The Yantic River provided an attractive opportunity for water-powered mills and served as the site of mill village established by Captain Erastus Williams. The history of the village began when Williams purchased an existing mill building and expanded it to make woolen cloth. In 1847, according to Lathrop, Williams started the Yantic Fire Engine Company. He also established Grace Episcopal Church.
