Westport, Coastal town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States.

Westport sits along Long Island Sound at the mouth of the Saugatuck River, covering 22.4 square miles of Connecticut's southwestern region.

In 1835, the town incorporated its territory from parts of Fairfield, Norwalk, and Weston, changing its name from the original Saugatuck designation.

The Westport Country Playhouse stages theatrical productions throughout the year, contributing to the performing arts scene since the early 20th century.

The town provides direct train connections to New York City through Metro-North Railroad, making it suitable for daily commuters working in Manhattan.

The local cotton manufacturing industries flourished during the 19th century, replacing the declining shipping trade as the primary economic driver.
