Town InformationThe town of Westport, population 24,610 covering 22.4 sq. miles is located in Western Connecticut in Fairfield County on the shore of the Long Island Sound. Originally known as Saugatuck after its river, it was incorporated under its present name in 1835 on land from Fairfield, Norwalk and Weston. The early development of the town was based on use of the river. The port prospered because it became the main commercial route for the entire region's manufacturing and farm products. The shipping trade reached its height in the year the town was incorporated, but afterwards it began to decline because of the competition from the railroads. Then mills and factories were built, and local cotton factories did particularly well. In the early 20th century New York City writers, musicians and especially artists began to flock to Westport. Today the town is an affluent suburb of New York that continues to be artistically and culturally inclined. State of Connecticut: Town
