Town InformationThe town of Southbury, population 15,740 covering 40.9 sq. miles is located in southwest Connecticut. Although the town was originally settled by 1673, it took over 100 years for the town to be incorporated from Woodbury in 1787. Mill industry thrived here because of abundant water power, especially along the Pomeraug River. Commerce then increased when the Main Street became a link of the Woodbury Turnpike in 1795. By the time the railroad came through in 1881 the town was already a regional center of trade and light industry. One characteristic specific to the loyalty was that tradesmen here such a shoemakers would travel to their customers rather than maintain a shop - a practice referred to as "whipping the cat." Today the town remains rather rural because it has a relatively large area for its population. The principal industries are agriculture and include the manufacture of ice-cream.
