East Lyme

Few towns in Connecticut have a history as closely tied to the shoreline railroad as East Lyme. The town meets Long Island Sound where the Niantic River flows into Niantic Bay, and its principal village, Niantic, developed around that waterfront and rail corridor. East Lyme was incorporated in 1839 after separating from Lyme. The Niantic Bay Boardwalk follows the water beside the rail line, while nearby beaches and parks keep the coast central to everyday life. This is southeastern Connecticut on a human scale, shaped by maritime geography and the enduring route between Boston and New York.
