In 1688, a purchase for £25 sterling was made of the Indian sachem Nottatuck of all the lands from the Asnuntuck (or Freshwater Brook) to the Umquatuck at the foot of the falls, and extending eight miles east. The Springfield (Massachusetts Bay Colony town) Committe governed Enfield until 1693, when the town began to control their own affairs.
Enfield became a part of Connecticut in 1749 by secession from the royal governor of Massachusetts Bay and union with the charter government of Connecticut. the groundwork for such as step had been laid for more than a century earlier by an error of the surveyors Woodward and Saffery, who in 1642 established a boundary between the colonies running southward nearly to the site of Windsor.
