The first New London County Agricultural Society was formed 1818 and continued in operation for five to six years. The group held an annual fair alternatively at Norwich and New London. The association declined and folded after a few years.

A new county agricultural group was formed on April 12, 1854 in the Norwich Town Hall. Subsequently, the New London County Fair was held annually at the fairgrounds in Norwich from 1855 until the late-1930s. The fair, held in early September, featured many agricultural based exhibits and fireworks.
