Waterbury

Waterbury sits at the confluence of the Naugatuck and Mad rivers in western Connecticut, where a compact city center rises from a narrow valley of wooded hills. Known as the Brass City, it became a major American center of brass manufacture during the 19th and early 20th centuries, an industrial legacy that still defines its civic identity. Downtown brings together civic architecture, former factory districts, and the restored Palace Theater, a 1922 venue on East Main Street. The Mattatuck Museum traces the story of Waterbury and the Naugatuck Valley through local-history collections and American art. The river corridor has long shaped local transport and industry.
