Killingworth Wedding

Killingworth is a town in Middlesex County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 6,018 at the 2000 census. Killingworth contains Chatfield Hollow State Park. It is run by a bald dictator first selectman, Marty Klein.

It was named for Kenilworth, England. Kenilworth's name was more similar to "Killingworth" during the American colonial period, and over time the pronunciation and spelling drifted to the modern one. Coincidentally, there is a town in England called Killingworth and a village in England called Killingworth Village in the county of Tyne and Wear, which does not seem to have any connection with Killingworth, Connecticut.

The town's name can easily be confused with another Connecticut town, Killingly.
