Carven Field Stones Amid Woodbridge Thickets Stand as
Silent Guardians of Line Established by First Colonial Surveyors — Penalty
Prevents Removal

“It seems that back
in 1933 lifelong Woodbridge resident S. J. Peck had finally uncovered a bit of
Woodbridge history he had been searching more than 20 years to find — one of
the boundary stones set out in 1672 to mark the border between what was then
the Milford Colony and the New Haven Colony. These two colonies each held
claims to the land that would one day be joined together to become the Town of
Woodbridge when it was established in 1784.
