As to Villagers being cute and loveable, it didn't seem to me to be necessary to repeat The Obvious!
Without proper research back-up, I'm still inclined to believe that Kent, CT, was undoubtedly named for Kent, England. South Kent, being south of Kent, became South Kent by default, methinks!
There's a boarding school in Kent dating from the very earliest days of the 20th Century. Its founder, an Episcopal priest named Father Sill, encouraged South Kent's founders, who graduated from Kent about 1918 and from Princeton in 1922. The two of them founded South Kent in 1923.
Lots and lots of history along the banks of the Housatonic River in western Connecticut!
