Tolland County, Connecticut
Tolland County (/ˈtɒlənd/) is a county in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Connecticut. As of the 2020 census, its population was 149,788. It is incorporated into 13 towns and was originally formed on October 13, 1785, from portions of eastern Hartford County and western Windham County.
The county is included in the Hartford-East Hartford-Middletown, CT Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Counties in Connecticut have no governmental function; all legal power is vested in the state, city and town governments. The office of High Sheriff in Connecticut counties was officially abolished by ballot in 2000, and corrections and court services were transferred to the state marshals. Tolland County has the same boundaries as the Tolland Judicial District. On June 6, 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau formally recognized Connecticut's nine councils of governments as county equivalents instead of the state's eight counties. Connecticut's county governments were disbanded in 1960, and the councils of governments took over some of the local governmental functions. Connecticut's eight historical counties continue to exist in name only, and are no longer considered for statistical purposes.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 417 square miles (1,080 km2), of which 410 square miles (1,100 km2) is land and 6.8 square miles (18 km2) (1.6%) is water. It is the second-smallest county in Connecticut by land area and smallest by total area.

For every 100 females there were 98.9 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 97.6 males. 49.7% of residents lived in urban areas and 50.3% lived in rural areas.
The racial makeup of the county was 82.0% White, 3.6% Black or African American, 0.2% American Indian and Alaska Native, 5.7% Asian, 0.0% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, 2.3% from some other race, and 6.2% from two or more races.
