About this city

Also known as: Home of Mohegan Sun

Montville is a diverse, historic town located along the western banks of the Thames River in New London County, southeastern Connecticut. Formally incorporated in 1786, the town encompasses several unique villages, including Uncasville, which serves as the proud tribal seat of the federally recognized Mohegan Tribe. Montville beautifully blends rural New England forested landscapes and agricultural heritage with world-class, high-energy modern entertainment. It has dynamically transitioned from its early textile and paper milling manufacturing past along the Oxoboxo River into one of the most prominent premier gaming, concert, and hospitality destinations in the northeastern United States.
