Somers is a census-designated place (CDP) comprising the primary village in the town of Somers, Tolland County, Connecticut. As of the 2020 United States census, the Somers CDP had a population of 1,990,[4] out of 10,255 in the town of Somers.

History[edit]

The Somers Historic District occupies 100 acres (40 ha) at the center of the village. Most of the buildings are early 19th-century residences, with Federal or Greek Revival style, although there are a selection of later 19th-century styles represented as well. The older properties are largely clustered in three places: on Springfield Road near Main, the eastern end of Main Street, and the area just west of where the modern (constructed in 1950) town hall stands.[5]
