The first settler was probably Captain John Sabin, who built a house in 1696 which served as an outpost against the Indians. The settlement was known by the Indian name Massamugget until 1713 when the town was incorporated, and later called Pomfret, named after Pontefract in Yorkshire, England. Pomfret is probably best known historically for the Wolf Den where General Israel Putnam killed the last wolf in Connecticut.
