Situated in one of the highest-income counties in the United States, the northern part of Fairfield County is dotted with picturesque, colonial towns rich with history. Ridgefield—the largest town in the area—is regularly ranked by Connecticut Magazine as offering the highest quality of life in the state, as a result of its low crime rate, excellent schools and wide variety of services. Dating to 1708, the town’s Main Street historic district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is lined with architecturally significant homes, museums, churches and shops. Several of the towns in the surrounding area—Brookfield, Danbury, New Fairfield and Sherman—are located on the shores of Lake Candlewood, one of the most popular lakes in the state for boating, fishing, waterskiing and wakeboarding. The lake and its surrounding communities provide an idyllic weekend escape for many New Yorkers.
