Battle of Post Road and Nearwater Farm
History & Background
Noroton Neck was a favorite of the Loyalist raiders headquartered across the Sound at Lloyd’s Neck. It was about the nearest land in rebel Connecticut. It had ideal beaches where raiding whaleboats could land, and an armed Loyalist brig could anchor nearby to load and carry off captured cattle. It was accessible by a single road, Nearwater Lane, which ran directly from the main Country Road (now Post Road).
