History

A post office called Winsted has been in operation since 1858. The city was named after Winsted, Connecticut. The name “Winsted” is a portmanteau created from the names of two towns, Winchester and Barkhamsted, located in Litchfield County, Connecticut. The Electric Short Line (commonly referred to as the Luce Line) provided freight and interurban passenger rail service to Winsted. Passenger service ended by the 1950s, and the tracks were abandoned by the Chicago & North Western Railway in 1972.
