Newtown

Tucked along the Pootatuck River in western Connecticut, Newtown is a place whose character is shaped by wooded hills and the river valleys crossing its broad municipal area. Incorporated in 1711, it developed as an inland New England community rather than a coastal port. At Sandy Hook, the Pootatuck joins the Housatonic River, linking the town to the larger Housatonic Valley. The Newtown Borough Historic District preserves civic, religious and residential buildings around Main Street, while Edmond Town Hall, opened in 1930, remains a notable community landmark.
