Newtown is a scenic "small town" located in Fairfield County in southwestern Connecticut, about sixty miles from New York City. Newtown is bordered on the south by Easton and Redding, on the north by Bridgewater and Southbury, on the east by Oxford and Monroe, and on the west by Bethel and Brookfield. Newtown is traversed by Interstate 84, U.S. routes 6 and 302 and Connecticut routes 25 and 34. It covers 38,644 acres or 60.38 square miles, making it the fifth largest town, area-wise, in the state. Newtown was established in 1711 and is comprised of the Borough, Sandy Hook, Hawleyville, Botsford and Dodgingtown "neighborhoods".
The Town Seal may include the rooster weathervane located atop The Meeting House but for many, the symbol of Newtown is the 110 foot flagpole (10 foot is underground) in the middle of Main Street. In the winter, the 12 foot by 18 foot American flag is flown but in the spring, the beautiful 20 foot by 30 foot summer flag is raised by the Newtown Hook and Ladder Fire Co., under the supervision of former Police Lieutenant David Lydem, who is the "Keeper of the Flag".
Who Can Participate? Individuals, families, businesses, sports groups and community organizations are invited to participate in our 4th Annual Scarecrow Contest. Choose a Fairfield Hills Lamp Post during the month of October, (first-come,…
