Town InformationThe town of Shelton, population 35,760 covering 31.4 sq. miles is located in southwestern Connecticut on the Housatonic River. It was first settled before 1700 by residents of Straford. In 1717 the General Assembly granted parish privileges to "the northern parts of the town of Straford", and the ecclesiastical society subsequently formed was given the name Ripton. The parish was incorporated from Stratford as the town of Huntington in 1789. The co-extensive city of Shelton was chartered in 1915. The name of the town was changed to that of the city in 1919. Like its neighbor across the River, Derby, Shelton began its considerably industrial growth only after the completion of the Housatonic Dam in 1870. Shelton's population growth had been consistent and considerable since the 1950's. The town's traditional products, such as wire goods, tacks, and tools remain the foundation of its industrial sector. There are several recreational facilities along the river constructed by the power companies as part of the dam development. State of Connecticut: Town of Shelton Home Page.
