The village's growth was further fueled by other textile mills, the completion of the Norwich and Worcester Railroad through town in 1830, the establishment of other businesses, and the expansion of the textile mills from the 1850s onward. The houses in the Broad Street-Davis Park area were built by middle and upper-class residents, who chose the latest architectural styles and built large houses.

The Five Mile River is a 23.5-mile-long (37.8 km) river located in Connecticut's northeast corner which flows through the towns of Thompson, Putnam, and Killingly. The original Nipmuc name was Assawaga, meaning "place between" or "halfway place". The Assawaga received its English name from the fact that the first land laid out upon it was "supposed to be about five miles from" Woodstock, Connecticut. The Five Mile is a tributary of the Quinebaug River and is part of the Thames River watershed. Its source is Little Pond (also known as Schoolhouse Pond), close to the Massachusetts border. It empties into the Quinebaug River at Danielson, near the intersection of Connecticut Route 12 and U.S. Route 6. The Five Mile River has several dams, most of which are remnants of defunct mills and some of which are still used by local industry. Its largest impoundment is Quaddick Reservoir. The best examples of surviving mill villages are Killingly in villages such as Pineville, Ballouville, Attawaugan, and Dayville.

Its main entry is marked by granite pillars placed in 1920, giving access to a perimeter road. The cemetery is laid out in a form typical of 18th-century and early 19th-century, with graves lined up in relatively even rows, avoiding the mid-19th century rural cemetery movement. Most of its 450 graves date to the 19th century. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.Killingly was settled in 1707, when James Daniels purchased the area between the Quinebaug River and the Rhode Island border from James Fitch. Daniels is considered the founder of the village of Danielson, and is buried in this cemetery. It was laid out in 1728, and remained in continuous use until about 1900, when additional space on the south side of North Street was added. Most burials now take place in the modern southern parcel, although burials still take place in family plots in the old section. About 15% of the graves date to the 18th century, typically with slate stones carved with cherubs or winged soul effigies. The larger number of 19th-century burials have a wider variety of monuments, including the use of granite and marble. The most elaborate family monument is that of the Atwoods in the northeast quadrant, which features a Classical statue and drapery.
