Before European settlers arrived, the Coginchaug area was a Native American hunting ground. European settlers purchased tracts of land from the Mattabesset (Wangunk) tribe around 1662. These later became part of Durham, which was incorporated in 1708. The settlement was named after Durham, England. It took land from Guilford and Haddam.
Durham has one of the first public libraries in the United States. It was founded in 1733, two years after Benjamin Franklin started the Philadelphia library. Moses Austin who, along with his son Stephen F. Austin, began the settlement of Spanish and Mexican Texas by Anglo-Americans, was born in Durham in 1761. In the 1830s Durham came to prominence as the birthplace of Richard P. Robinson, who was tried for and acquitted of the infamous murder of Helen Jewett.
