The population was 1,640 at the 2010 census.[1] Cornish has three covered bridges. Each August, it is home to the Cornish Fair. HistoryThe town was granted in 1763 and contained an area once known as "Mast Camp" because it was the shipping point for the tall masts floated down the river by English settlers. It was incorporated in 1765 by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth and named for Sir Samuel Cornish, a distinguished admiral of the Royal Navy.[2] Since the late 19th century, Cornish has been a well-known summer resort for artists and writers. Sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens began coming to Cornish in 1885, seeking a studio away from the summer heat of New York City. Artist friends followed him, including painter and illustrator Maxfield Parrish, who designed and built his estate, the Oaks, in the area. The surrounding area became the center of the popular Cornish Art Colony.[3] Cornish is the site of the longest wooden covered bridge in the United States, and the longest two-span covered bridge in the world. The Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge spans the Connecticut River and was built in 1866 at an original cost of $9,000. Cornish gained notable attention on January 27, 2010 when American author J. D. Salinger, known to be reclusive, died in the local hospital. He had long lived nearby and was 91 years old. GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|42.8|sqmi|km2}}, of which {{convert|42.1|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}} is land and {{convert|0.7|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}} is water, comprising 1.68% of the town. The long ridge of Croydon Mountain follows the eastern boundary of town; the highest point in town is a knob on Croydon Mountain which reaches an elevation of {{convert|2323|ft|m|abbr=on}} above sea level.[4] Cornish is drained by Mill Brook, Blow-me-down Brook, and the Connecticut River, which bounds it on the west. Cornish lies fully within the Connecticut River watershed.[5] The eastern part of the town is a portion of the approximately {{convert|25000|acre|km2|adj=on}} Blue Mountain Forest Association private game preserve, also known locally as Corbin Park, named after its founder, Austin Corbin. Cornish is dotted with several small villages, including Cornish Center, Cornish Flat, Cornish City, Cornish Mills, South Cornish, Balloch, and Squag City. Cornish is served by state routes 12A and 120.
