It is the home of General Dynamics Electric Boat, which is the major contractor for submarine work for the United States Navy. The pharmaceutical company Pfizer is also a major employer in Groton.

The population of Groton was 38,411 at the 2020 census, and it is expected to grow to 40,000 by the end of the 20th century. Groton is located on the Thames River, between Pawcatuck River and the Mystic River. The Niantic people, a branch of the Mohawk people, settled in the area 100 years before it was established, but they eventually settled in Westerly, Rhode Island. The Dutch had unintentionally killed the Pequots' chief, and this prompted revenge by thePequot tribe, which escalated into the Pe Quot War (1636-1638). On the night of May 26, 1637, the Colonial forces arrived outside a Pequot village. The palisade surrounding the village had only two exits, and their leader Colonel John Mason gave the order to set the village on fire and block off the exits. Those who tried climbing over the palisades were shot; anyone who succeeded in getting over was killed by the Narragansett forces. Most of the community began to build ships.
