Danbury is a thriving and diverse city located in

western Connecticut that focuses on preserving and
providing a superior quality of life for residents.
Danbury’s excellent transportation connections to
both New England and New York make it a hidden
gem within Connecticut. With convenient access via
Metro-North, I-84, and US-7, Danbury offers
seamless travel options.
Despite its proximity to these bustling metropolitan
areas, Danbury has successfully preserved its small-
town charm.

Known as the “Hat City,” Danbury was the center of
the American hat industry between the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries. Although Danbury has
moved on from producing hats, the local businesses
continue to keep history alive by referencing the
hatting industry. Today, Danbury has expanded to
producing electronics, machinery, and furniture.

Danbury takes pride in its diverse economy, which
is made up of several major industries, a vibrant
cultural scene, and a strong sense of community.
Not only is Danbury positioned among the foothills
of the Berkshire Mountains, but it's home to the
southern part of Connecticut's largest lake,
Candlewood Lake. Danbury boasts a serene
environment with an abundance of outdoor
activities.

From festivals to food trucks to farmers markets,
there is always something exciting happening in this
city. The town government is responsive,

innovative, and invested in making Danbury a great
place to live for all residents. Coupled with its wide
range of amenities and welcoming atmosphere,
Danbury truly stands out as a unique and special
place to call home.
