Now the colonies didn't have to import their thread from England. Willimantic is located in the town of Windham. It is named for Wymondham in Norfolk, England, and was founded in 1692. The town was originally settled by John Cates, a Puritan soldier fleeing from the wrath of the Royalists following the restoration of the English monarchy after Oliver Cromwell's death.

The fast running Wilimantic River attracted numerous cotton manufacturers from Rhode Island and Massachusetts in the early 19th century. They located their water-powered cotton mills in Willimantic, and along the length of the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers. Willimantic also became a major American center for silk thread and cloth production in the years between the end of the Civil War, and the outbreak of World War II.
