Pameacha Pond is a body of water in Middletown, Connecticut, located along South Main Street (Route 17). The pond exists behind a roughly 10.5 foot high by 83 foot long rough stone dam. According to City of Middletown officials, the brownstone dam was privately built for the former Wilcox, Crittenden & Co. factory. A 1980 report by the Army Corps of Engineers estimated the structure was built in 1870. At the time, the dam was the factory's primary source of water power. [1]
