Take a walk back in time into Unionville’s history to discover the significant features formed 12,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age. Huge blocks of ice formed 5 distinct kettle holes as the glaciers receded. In the mid 1800’s Unionville was the economic and population center of Farmington and by 1894 it also became a destination for tourists when the electric trolley arrived attracting people from West Hartford and Hartford to the electric fountain and dance pavilion in Suburban Park . Today there are 5 historic markers identifying its many features.
