A growing community, Canton offers all the delights of living in a rural setting while offering excellent communication to the busier towns of Avon, Farmington and Hartford. Running through it is the Farmington River. The town includes the villages of North Canton, Canton Center, Canton (Canton Valley), and Collinsville. In September 2007, Collinsville was ranked in Budget Travel magazine as one of the "Ten Coolest Small Towns In America"
