Origin:
Named for Governor Theophilus Eaton of Connecticut, a generous contributor to the funds needed to settle Massachusetts in 1630. He later founded a colony at New Haven, Connecticut, along with John Davenport and David Yale, great-grandfather of Yale University's founder. Eaton includes the village of Snowville, named for the Snow family who started a sawmill there in 1825.
