History:
IN 1869 Plainville was set off from Farmington, where it had been earlier known as the Great Plain, and was incorporated as a town. It is bounded north by Farmington, east by New Britain, south by Southington, west by Bristol, and contains about twelve square miles. The village proper is only about four and a half miles from the business centre of Farmington; but its history and business interests had been so separate from those of the town to which it was attached that the legislature of 1869 granted its incorporation, although the place was not even represented in that body as a voting district. The petition was signed by every legal voter, and the division was effected without discord.
Plainville Public Schools
The school system consists of three elementary schools, Louis Toffolon School, Frank T. Wheeler School, and Linden Street School.
There is one middle school serving grades 6-8, the Middle School of Plainville. The middle school adopts the same mascot and colors as the town high school, with the exception that they are sometimes known as the "Li'l Blue Devils."
Plainville High School is the town high school. The school mascot is the Blue Devil and the colors are blue and white, same as nearby Central Connecticut State University.
Recreation
The Plainville Parks and Recreation Department is dedicated to providing activities both for the individual and the family. The Recreation Department will continue to serve the leisure needs of the community. Seasonal flyers describing all programs can be obtained in the Recreation Department at 50 Whiting Street. .
Points of Interest
