Marlborough is a town in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States.

[3] The town is home to Elmer Theines-Mary Hall elementary school which serves Pre-K through 6th grade.

The school scores above state average on standardized testing and student progress.

The town's origins can be traced back to 1648, when (John) Sadler's Ordinary, a rest stop from the colonical era, was established.

[5] In 1747, William Buell and Joel Foote petitioned the colonial General Court for permission to form an Ecclesiastical Society and establish the town of Marlborough.

It wasn’t until the 1960s that Marlborough was rediscovered as a bedroom community for white-collar professionals working in Hartford.

Route 2, a two-lane highway (sometimes three) in most sections, bisects the town, and there are three Marlborough exits, at South Main Street, Route 66, and West Road, although there are exits westbound only for South Main and eastbound only for West Road.

Boston is an hour and 45 minutes away, while New York City is a two-hour car ride, pending traffic conditions.

15.8% of all households were made up of individuals, and 5.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
