Waterbury, Industrial city in Connecticut, United States
Waterbury sits along the Naugatuck River in west-central Connecticut, surrounded by valleys and residential neighborhoods at an elevation of 80 meters.
Established in 1686 as Mattatuck Plantation, the settlement transformed into a manufacturing center that became the largest producer of brass products in America.
The city maintains strong links to its industrial heritage through multiple clock towers, an active Union Station, and the Municipal Stadium for community gatherings.
Residents access transportation through Metro-North Railroad services and public bus routes, connecting the population to Hartford and New York City regions.
The former brass manufacturing facilities created specialized metal items, including the first mass-produced dollar pocket watch by Robert H. Ingersoll.
