The Northford Center Historic District encompasses the historic village area of Northford in northern North Branford, Connecticut. The basically linear district extends along Middletown Avenue from the village center at its southern end, to a point beyond its northern junction with Old Post Road. The area was settled in the early 18th century, and was transformed into a rural industrial village in the 19th century by the locally prominent Maltby and Fowler families. The district includes many fine pre-Civil-War houses (including the Howd-Linsley House), two churches (including the gothic-revival Northford Congregational Church designed by Henry Austin), and a schoolhouse (the Fourth District School).[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
