Long Hill is a neighborhood[3] and census-designated place (CDP) in the town of Trumbull in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States.
By the mid-1650s, the Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation began to petition the Court of the Colony of Connecticut for compensation for lost territory taken by the encroaching English settlement at Stratford.
[4] The English continued to purchase territory from the Native Americans, entering the deeds of transfer into the land records.
In April 1662, Lt. Joseph Judson, Joseph Hawley, and John Minor secured the last written deed of transfer from the Paugussett Indian Nation for the entire western part of Trumbull, referred to simply as the "Long Hill purchase" lying west of land already purchased.
The green was enlarged to its present size in 1801, when the Bridgeport and Newtown Turnpike Company shifted the road west, to straighten out the route.
