==History==
In 1686, Thomas Parke, Thomas Tracy, and several others petitioned for and were granted by the Connecticut General Court authority to establish a plantation seven miles square to the east of Norwich and north of New London and Stonington. Owaneco, son of the Mohegan sachem Uncas, gave a confirmatory deed for the land in 1687. In October of that same year, the town was formally incorporated as Preston, named for the English city of Preston, Lancashire.〔F.M. Caulkins, ''History of Norwich'', (Thomas Robinson, 1845)〕〔Connecticut Colony Public Records, Vol. III〕
The Ecclesiastical Society of Preston was first organized in 1698, with the first meetinghouse located in present-day Preston City. At the request of residents in the northern part of Preston (now the town of Griswold), the North Society was established in 1716. A splinter group, the Separate Church of Preston, was established in 1747 and continued until 1817. The Preston City Baptist Church (now the Preston City Bible Church) was established in 1812.〔Connecticut Colony Public Records, Vol. IV〕〔Preston. First Congregational Church. ''The Bicentennial Celebration''〕
On August 4, 1954, an Air France Lockheed L-1049C Super Constellation flying from Orly Airport to Idlewild Airport crashed near Preston.〔http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F00F10FA3E55117A93C6A91783D85F408585F9〕
