Gold's Dragoons was raised in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1657 and passed under Royal control in 1660 as a British colonial militia unit to fight the Dutch and Pequots. The troop was incorporated into the colonial militia following the signing of the Royal Charter of King Charles II in 1662. A successor volunteer Connecticut reserve force cavalry unit of the same name was re-raised in 1932, from members of the Fairfield Hunt Club. Gold's Dragoons is a published club in the Social Register.
Squadron A: Consists of members of FCHC: Anne Hamonet*, Alberto Hamonet, Caitlin Condon, Juan Acuña. (*FBTA Board Member)
