Nichols, a historic village in southeastern Trumbull on the Gold Coast (Connecticut) of Fairfield County, was named after the family who maintained a large farm in its center for almost 300 years.〔(Census.gov website retrieved 2011-06-26 )〕〔(The Connecticut Economy Fall 2008 )〕 The Nichols Farms Historic District, which encompasses part of the village, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally home to the Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation, the Nichols area was colonized by the English during the Great Migration of the 1630s as a part of the coastal settlement of Stratford, and used primarily for agriculture and animal husbandry. The first settlements in Nichols were doubtless made soon after the settlement of the mother-town of Stratford in 1639.〔()''History of Fairfield County, Connecticut with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers'', Hurd, D. Hamilton, J.W. Lewis & Company, Philadelphia, PA, 1881, page 771〕 In the mid-nineteenth century, manufacturing of carriages and saddle trees was established. By the early twentieth century, after the mass production of the automobile and extension of commuting routes, Nichols became an affluent suburb for the nearby cities of Bridgeport, Stratford and Shelton. The construction of the Merritt Parkway through Nichols Center in 1939 and the closing of local factories, turned the village into a bedroom community for lower Fairfield County. ==Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation==
The Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation is a Connecticut state-recognized tribe, descendants of the ''Paugussett'' (also ''Paugusset'') Nation of Native Americans, who occupied much of western Connecticut prior to the arrival of Europeans. While state-recognized, they have been denied federal recognition. The tribe lives in Colchester, Connecticut, where it has a reservation, and also has a reservation in Nichols, which is considered to be the oldest continuing reservation in Connecticut and the smallest in the US.
