Madison

Madison lies along Connecticut’s Long Island Sound coast, where a wooded town center gives way to tidal marshes, beaches and sheltered inlets. Hammonasset Beach State Park occupies a long stretch of the eastern shoreline, with sand dunes and the saltwater Hammonasset River estuary shaping its setting. Incorporated in 1826 after separating from Guilford, Madison developed from an agricultural and coastal community; its central green and surrounding streets still form the civic focus. Independent shops, libraries and seasonal town events keep that center active beyond the summer shore season.
