In answer to some questions that may be asked by students or staff of the University of Connecticut, Eastern Connecticut State University, and / or Quinebaug Valley Community College, Willimantic is not just the frog bridge town. Willimantic is one of the four communities that comprise the town of Windham: The villages of Windham Center, North Windham, and South Windham and the city of Willimantic. Although the history of the phrase “Romantic Willimantic” is murky through the passage of years, Willimantic community members, activists, and leaders have embraced the euphonious and poetic sound of the phrase and turned it into a celebration of the community.
