Ansonia, Industrial city in Naugatuck Valley, Connecticut.
Located on the banks of the Naugatuck River, Ansonia spans across an area of elevated terrain at 25 meters above sea level.
The city gained its independence from Derby in 1889 when Anson Greene Phelps established copper and brass mills in the region.
Multiple churches represent different ethnic communities throughout Ansonia, while the Opera House from 1870 serves as a central performance venue.
