[4] Baltic was formed around a cotton mill established on the Shetucket River on land purchased in 1856 by former Rhode Island Governor and U.S.

The mill continued operating until 1967, when it was closed and the property and equipment were sold.

In 1970 the property was sold to the Casper Division of Bevis Industries, which used it for a mail order operation.

It was soon after discovered that campus was set ablaze by three local boys.

[9] Baltic is the site of a monthly Sprague River Run on the Shetucket River from April to October, which includes tubing and activities for children and adults.
