Fairfield County, County in southwestern Connecticut, United States.
Fairfield County contains four major cities - Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwalk, and Danbury - along the Long Island Sound coastline with numerous parks and marinas.
The Connecticut General Court established Fairfield County in Hartford on May 10, 1666, initially comprising six towns including Greenwich, Stamford, and Stratford.
The county serves as headquarters for nineteen Fortune 1000 corporations and maintains strong educational standards with 45 percent of residents holding university degrees.
The region provides extensive transportation networks, including Metro-North Railroad service through Stamford Transportation Center, connecting residents to New York City.
During the 1960s and 1970s, multiple corporations relocated their headquarters from Manhattan to Fairfield County, reshaping the New York region's business landscape.
