Fairfield enjoys an
enviable location on the edge of Long Island Sound, with beautiful
public beaches and a picturesque coastline offering many water sports, a
great town dock and a full-service marina. Whether you’re interested in
cultural activities, (local theater and art galleries) beautiful parks
and woodlands, golfing, tennis, nature trails, playgrounds, or shopping,
you’ll find it in Fairfield.
The Southport area of Fairfield (settled in 1639) has
been designated as an historic district for its harbor, churches,
public buildings, and the homesteads of some of the first families.
Fairfield’s diversity truly offers something for everyone within its
borders.
