A town settled by Europeans in 1634 (one of the first 3 in Connecticut) and incorporated in 1822. Its bedrock is mostly Jurassic sediments and minor basalt of the Hartford Basin sequence of the Newark Supergroup, though it is not very well exposed, mostly covered by Quaternary glacial deposits. Minor roadcuts in the basalt may expose a hydrothermally mineralized fault vein, which are very common in the central part of the basin - mostly in nearby New Britain and Newington.
Wethersfield has the distinction of being hit twice by meteorites, in 1971 and 1982. Both impacted homes, see sublocalities.
