Stafford Springs is a census-designated place located in Stafford, Connecticut, United States. The population was 4,780 at the 2020 Census.[2] The village was a borough until November 1991, when it was disincorporated.[3]

Located near the source of the Willimantic River,[4] the mill industry grew in the town due to its location and became the largest industry in the area.[5] The village has the Holt Memorial Fountain and the former railroad station.[6]

In the 18th century, the spring at Stafford Springs was famous for its reputed ability to cure "the gout, sterility, pulmonary, hysterics, etc."[7] In 1771, John Adams, then a young lawyer, visited Stafford Springs for several days after suffering from overwork and anxiety.[7]

Stafford Springs was once the headquarters of Station C of the Connecticut State Police, and subsequently was the site of the Troop C Barracks.[8]

Currently Route 32, Route 190, Route 19, and Route 140 pass through or originate in the village.[9]
