Located near the source of the Willimantic River,[3] the mill industry grew in the town due to its location and became the largest industry in the area.[4] The village has the Holt Memorial Fountain and the former railroad station.[5] A portion of the village center was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2025.[6]
In the 18th century, the spring at Stafford Springs was famous for its reputed ability to cure "the gout, sterility, pulmonary, hysterics, etc."[7] In 1771, John Adams, then a young lawyer, visited Stafford Springs for several days after suffering from overwork and anxiety.[7]
Stafford Springs was once the headquarters of Station C of the Connecticut State Police, and subsequently was the site of the Troop C Barracks.[8]
