Within East Haddam, the Village of Moodus was the site of a dozen water-powered textile mills during the nineteenth century. Later, people seeking refuge from city life flocked to summer resorts in Moodus, several of which continue in business to this day. Moodus is named for its famed "Moodus Noises," strange audible rumblings that are seismic in origin and that figure prominently in Native American lore. East Haddam is also the home to the headwaters of the Eight Mile River, which runs through a greenway of protected open space.
