" In 1651 Edward Wooster obtained permission from the town of Milford to settle in the northern part of the township, then known as Paugasset. Within the next year or two he and his brother-in-law, Thomas Langdon,* built houses at Paugasset, thus founding what became in 1675 the town of Derby. The growing village at Paugasset was not viewed with favor by the authorities at Milford and New Haven, and occasional lawlessness on the part of some of the villagers intensified their diapproval. In this situation Edward Wooster conducted himself with prudence, for in 1669 the General Court appointed him constable of Paugasset."
