About this city
Uncasville is a culturally significant historic village situated within the town of Montville in New London County, positioned along the western banks of the Thames River in southeastern Connecticut. Named after the legendary 17th-century Mohegan Sachem Uncas, the village marks the heart of the federally recognized Mohegan Tribe's ancestral homeland. Historically an early manufacturing hub driven by the water power of the Oxoboxo River, Uncasville underwent an immense tourism transformation in 1996 with the opening of Mohegan Sun. Today, the village blends its rugged New England forest topography and historic industrial relics with one of the most spectacular resort and gaming complexes in the world.
