==History==
Originally known as Southfield—pronounced "Suffield," on May 20, 1674, the committee for the settling of the town petitioned:

{{blockquote|...that the name of the place may be Suffield, it being the southernmost town that either at present is, or like to be in that Countrey, and neere adjoining to the south border of our Patent in those parts. {{sic}} }}

The petition was granted by the Massachusetts Bay court on June 8, 1674. Suffield was incorporated as a town in March 1682.<ref>Sellers, Helen Earle (no date, c. 1965; reprint from ''The Connecticut Register and Manual'', 1942 Edition). ''Connecticut Town Origins: Their Names, Boundaries, Early Histories and First Families''. Stonington, Connecticut: The Pequot Press. p. 81.</ref>

Also, on early 17th and 18th century maps, Suffield was alternatively spelled as Suthfield.

Suffield and the surrounding area were part of the [[Equivalent Lands]] compromise with Massachusetts in 1715–1716.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://archive.org/details/bub_gb_Nw4wi4igtLAC|title=Vermont, the Green mountain state|first=Walter Hill|last=Crockett|date=March 18, 1921|publisher=New York, The Century history company, inc.|via=Internet Archive}}</ref>

[[Slavery]] was common throughout the [[Connecticut River Valley]] during the 18th century, and the 1774 Census for the [[Colony of Connecticut]] listed 37 slaves in Suffield. Throughout the Connecticut Valley, wealthy merchants, tavern owners and town ministers owned slaves. When Major John Pynchon originally purchased from the Pequonnocks and [[Agawam tribes]] a six-mile tract of land, which he called Stoney Brooke Plantation, he first ordered the construction of a sawmill, and used two of his slaves, Harry and Roco, for the construction.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=0iiUQQAACAAJ&q=robert+romer+google+books  Slavery in the Connecticut Valley of Massachusetts] 2009, Robert H.
