Jeremy River

The Jeremy River, named after Jeremy Adams, begins at a drainage just north of Holbrook Pond about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Gilead, Connecticut, and runs for 10.7 miles (17.2 km) to the Salmon River in Colchester, Connecticut.

[1] There are many swamps and marshes along the banks of its northern end, the largest of which is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long.

The Norton Paper Mill is located on Jeremy River (in Colchester, Connecticut).

A fire engulfed the building on July 8, 2012, consuming most of the remaining combustibles (the largely-intact walls being made of brick).

[3] The property was purchased by the Town of Colchester in 2015 (for $1), with plans to remove the building and redevelop the site as a public park.
