It doesn't exist on current atlases. It's not a typographical error for "Wilmington" and it's not in Connecticut, either. I assume that Willington is either a very small town, or an area of a larger city/town in Eastern Mass. Anyone?

Do you mean Wellington??? The southern 2/3 of Dighton was the town of Wellington from about 1812 to about 1825 - sorry, don't recall the exact dates. Made a seperate town after a dispute over rebuilding a burned meetinghouse. Annexed back to Dighton when people stopped fighting. Check out a town history of Dighton.

The only one to be found is in Connecticut.
The town of Willington is located in Tolland County and was established in May 1727 and is populated by 5,880 residents covering 34.8 sq. miles. Willington remained a quiet agricultural town until the Industrial Revolution when the waters of the Willimantic River became an important asset. Woolen mills were built along the river and in 1811 the town's first large industry, a glass factory, commenced operation. Today the town's industries have for the most part disappeared, with many residents commuting to jobs in nearby towns. Its principal industries are agriculture, manufacturing of machined parts and electroplating.
The only reference about a Wellington in Massachusetts was this:
The New England Pumpkin Grower's Association was formed in Willington, Massachusetts back in 1989.
Maybe that helps?
