In the late 17th century, the site of present-day Seymour was known as Wesquantuck, a Native American settlement. Then Paugusset and Schaghticoke people created a settlement called Chusetown, named for Chief Joseph Mauwehu (Pequot), nicknamed Chuse.
The area that now encompasses the lands of the town was originally part of the town of Derby, which in turn was a part of Milford. The downtown portion of what is now Seymour was eventually called Humphreysville, named after an American Revolutionary War veteran David Humphreys, aide-de-camp to General George Washington. Humphreys had purchased a factory in what is the downtown portion of the town, which produced scythes and other tools as well as wool products from the sheep he had imported.
In 1836, Humphreysville was incorporated as a borough within the town of Derby by the General Assembly. Upon the creation of the town of Seymour in 1850, the borough government was dis-incorporated.
