Lanesville is an unincorporated area in the town of New Milford, Litchfield County, Connecticut, United States.[1]
History
The establishment of what we now consider Lanesville is marked by the construction of the area's first gristmill, on the Still River in 1717.[2]Template:Rp For a time, the area was known as Pleasant Valley[3] but was eventually named Lanesville after prominent resident Jared Lane.[2]Template:Rp In the nineteenth century, Lanesville was a well-known district with a post office, one-room schoolhouse,[4] and railroad depot.[5]
Geography
There has been limited access to the area since 2008, when the town closed off Lanesville Road from US Route 7.[6] This closure pleased the residents of Lanesville but left businesses struggling. The area is now almost completely residential as a result.[7] Traffic is also blocked on the other end of Lanesville Rd, where there are barriers to the bridge connecting Lanesville with Franks Ln and Harrybrook Park.
