History
The town of Kent was sectioned in 1737 and settled about 1739. The town was named after County Kent in England.
Geography
Kent is in western Litchfield County and is bordered to the west by Dutchess County, New York. It is 26 miles (42 kilometers) north of Danbury and 50 miles (80 km) west of Hartford. The town's central village is found at 41°43′29″N 73°28′39″W. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 49+5⁄8 square miles (128.5 km2), of which 48+1⁄2 square miles (125.7 km2) are land and 1 square mile (2.7 km2), or 2.14%, is water. Bull's Bridge, one of two covered bridges open to vehicles in Connecticut, is located in the town. The town is bisected by the Housatonic River. The western half contains Macedonia Brook State Park, the Schaghticoke Indian Reservation, and a section of the Appalachian Trail.

Points of interest
= Macedonia Brook State Park
=Macedonia Brook State Park was first opened in 1918 with a donation of 1,552 acres (628 hectares) from the White Memorial Foundation of Litchfield. Since then, it has now grown to a size of 2,300 acres (930 ha) and is used for outdoor recreation throughout the year.
Besides the pure beauty of Appalachia, the park also boasts extensive trails, campgrounds, a venue for large group picnics, a small hilltop lake, and the park's namesake, Macedonia Brook. Visitors can also take advantage of the numerous grills set up around the park. From peaks on the Blue Trail, hikers can take in views of the Catskill Mountains and the Taconic Mountains.
= Kent Falls State Park
=Kent Falls State Park is often called "The Jewel of the Inland Parks" with its views of 17 waterfalls. The falls are fed by wetlands which are located in Warren, and empties into the Housatonic River, which is directly across the highway from the park.
A trail winds a quarter of a mile up along the falls, and although it is not difficult to walk it is steep, rising 250 feet (80 meters) in 1⁄4 mile (400 m). In 2006 a $1.1 million trail renovation was finished which provided new viewing platforms and a redesigned trail. Swimming was at one time allowed along the entire length of the falls, but due to a number of serious accidents, and large-scale damage to the natural environment, all of the area along the water above the bottom level is now closed by state law.
The park is designated as a Trout Park and is stocked with trout from the state's hatcheries. Due to the Trout Park designation the daily creel limit in the park is two fish.
= Bulls Bridge
=Bull's Bridge is one of three remaining covered bridges in Connecticut dating from the 19th century. George Washington crossed the Housatonic River near the site of the present bridge in 1781. Built in 1842 by architect Ithiel Town, this single-lane covered bridge features a lattice truss design.
= Sloane-Stanley Museum
=A museum featuring the studio and antique collections of Eric Sloane.
= Connecticut Antique Machinery Association
=A non-profit museum dedicated to preserving and restoring antique machinery and educating the public on Connecticut's industrial and agricultural history. One notable exhibit is its 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge railroad, which features an operating steam locomotive.
