Trumbull, Suburban town in Fairfield County, United States
Trumbull is a residential town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, characterized by a network of waterways and open spaces. The town encompasses around 1,400 acres of parks and natural areas that shape its landscape and provide spaces for outdoor activities.
The land was originally inhabited by the Paugussett people before English settlers established a colonial settlement in 1639. That early European arrival shaped the area's long-term development into a modern town.
The Trumbull Nature and Arts Center brings people together year-round with programs that connect visitors to both the natural world and artistic creation. It serves as a social hub where community members engage with environmental learning and local creative expression.
The town sits approximately 5 miles from Long Island Sound and connects to neighboring communities via Routes 8, 15, and 25. Bus service runs regularly through the area, making it accessible without a car.
A time capsule sealed at the Bicentennial fountain in 1997 is set to remain closed until the year 2097. Inside are objects meant to represent three centuries of the town's story for future generations to discover.
