From the article:

Tolland is a town located in Connecticut. It is the capitol of Tolland County, Connecticut, though county-level government is of little relevance in the state. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 13,146.

The statement concerning Tolland being the former "capital" of the county is incorrect, at least in recent history. The county seat of Tolland County was Rockville, CT (located in the adjacent town of Vernon), and this is where the county court was located, and where the District Court is today. It's possible Tolland was at some point the county seat, but it was not the most recent one or the one still listed today (although the article is very much correct in stating that Counties are for most purposes irrelevant in Connecticut today).
