Ashford is a town in Windham County, Connecticut, United States.[2] The town is part of the Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region. The population was 4,191 at the 2020 census.[3] It was founded in 1714. Eastford was a part of Ashford until 1847, when the former split off to organize its own town.[4] For this reason North Ashford is located in northeast Eastford.
Ashford is home to the largest boy scout camp in Connecticut, the June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation; to Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for children with cancer and other serious illness; to the Salvation Army CONNRI Lodge and Conference Center;[5] and to the Evangelical Christian Center, a retreat, camp and conference center.[6]
