Stratford

Stratford occupies a low coastal plain at the mouth of the Housatonic River on Long Island Sound in southwestern Connecticut. Settled in 1639, the town developed from a farming and shipbuilding community into part of the Bridgeport metropolitan area, while retaining shoreline parks and tidal wetlands. The Housatonic’s broad estuary defines Stratford’s western edge and connects its riverfront to the Sound. Aviation is another local thread: waterfront Sikorsky Memorial Airport is named for helicopter pioneer Igor Sikorsky.
