Collins Company was the world's largest axe and edged tool manufacturers. The company was established in 1826 as Collins & Co. by Samuel W. and David C. Collins. The co-partnership failed and in May 1834 the Collins Manufacturing Company was chartered by the Connecticut legislature for the purpose of manufacturing axes and edge tools. The business address was in Hartford and the manufacturing establishment located at Collinsville. It was the major employer in the area. In 1843 the company name was changed to Collins Company.
