The historic images in Candlewood Lake illustrate the history of the lake basin from its beginnings to the present day. At the turn of the century, the Rocky River valley was a quiet, productive farming community nestled in the foothills of Connecticut's Berkshire Mountains. On July 15, 1926, the Connecticut Light and Power Company's board of directors approved a plan to create a lake for the purpose of producing electric power, a decision that changed the face of the valley forever.

Enjoy the rich history of Candlewood Lake in this collection of 15 historic black-and-white postcards.
