Naugatuck, Connecticut/USA Judd's Meadows, South Farms, Salem Parish/Salem Bridge Settled in about 1704, it took the name Salem Parish or Salem Bridge when it became a town. The present name is of Algonquian origin and is thought to mean ‘One Tree’, presumably because of a prominent tree. The river on which it lies also has this name and it has been suggested that the name might mean ‘Fork of the River’.
