Hammonasset (people)
The Hammonasset River was a main digging ground for the Hammonassett people
The Hammonasset people were a member of the Wappinger tribe of Algonquian Native Americans who had their "digging grounds" from the west bank of the Connecticut River to the Hammonasset River along the coast.[1] The act of the Connecticut General Court, May 10, 1666, that established New London County mentioned as the county's western bounds "Homonoscet Plantation", which was settled by the English in 1663, now Killingworth. The name was also spelled "Homonoscitt" in some records.[2]
