HISTORY
The Collins Axe Company was founded in 1826 in Canton, Connecticut by Samuel W. and David C. Collins and soon became the world's leading axe manufacturer.  With this success emerged Collinsville, a company-built village complete with employee housing, stores, bank, and church. 
 
In 1966 the facilities in Collinsville were sold to the Mann Edge Tool Co. of Lewistown, Pa.  Three other factories were sold to the Stanley Tool Company.  Although the Collins factory is no longer in operation, the Collinsville historic district remains an important part of Canton’s economy.
