Fairfield

Fairfield combines a Long Island Sound shoreline with the settled rhythm of a Connecticut suburb in a way that reflects its position between Bridgeport and the New York metropolitan area. Its coastal character runs from Fairfield Beach to the harbor village of Southport, where maritime activity and 19th-century architecture remain part of the streetscape. Inland, Fairfield University, a Jesuit institution founded in 1942, is a major local presence. Fairfield was settled by English colonists in 1639, and its historic center still gathers around the Town Green.
