Southbury, Residential town in New Haven County, Connecticut
Located at elevations between 76 and 102 meters, Southbury extends across western New Haven County with a population of approximately 20,000 residents.
Established in 1787 after separating from Woodbury, Southbury developed from a Native American territory into a mill town utilizing local river power.
The Churaevka artists' colony, founded by Russian expatriates in the 1920s, drew notable visitors including composer Sergei Rachmaninoff to the area.
Interstate 84 provides direct access to major cities, while the town maintains multiple parks, educational facilities, and a weekly farmers market from June to October.
In 1937, Southbury became the first American town to pass zoning laws preventing military training facilities after opposing a German American Bund installation.
