Hampton is a town in Windham County, Connecticut, United States.

There are four main seasons in Hampton: winter, spring, summer and fall.

There is some form of spring warmth starting from mid April, although nights still border freezing, but get progressively warmer till June, where it plateaus for three months, after which it descends to fall, which is characterized by warmer days and nights than spring.

Hampton is made up of lands originally shared by the towns of Pomfret and Windham.

It was incorporated from the towns of Pomfret, Brooklyn, Canterbury, Mansfield, and Windham in 1786.

Erected by a resident named Jonathan Clark, it records the distance to Hartford and other towns.
