Naugatuck occupies the narrow Naugatuck River valley in western Connecticut. Incorporated as a borough in 1895, it grew during the 19th and 20th centuries as a manufacturing centre, notably for rubber goods; the Naugatuck Rubber Company became an important local employer. The river corridor and the Waterbury Branch rail line have long linked the community with Waterbury to the north and the Housatonic River towns to the south. Its compact centre around the Naugatuck Green retains the civic scale of a former mill town, while wooded hills rise beyond the developed valley floor.
