change category

Apparently Winsted is still incorporated as a city. Hence I would like to remove it from Category:Defunct cities in Connecticut and put it into the Category:Cities in Connecticut. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 12:33, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The category change has taken effect. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 21:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History section

I see that it mentions the history of the city, however, when was it settled? In what year? Sullivan.t (talk) 13:28, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica says it was settled in 1756. --Polaron | Talk 14:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gilbert School

I edited the gilbert school section to say ^{[citation needed]} - because there is some concern over its status as a public or semi-public or "private on the books, public to people" school. Heck, I live in the town and still don't fully know. (I went to another highschool, however.) Sullivan.t (talk) 14:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to the website here,"The Gilbert School is a private secondary school that serves as the public high school for the towns of Winchester and Hartland". 99.165.198.68 (talk) 01:48, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds about right. They're an endowed academy, so it's technically a private school, but the town pays the tuition for their middle and high school students. Drjayphd (talk) 20:52, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
