Exploring Norwalk CT
Norwalk, Connecticut is home to nearly 90,000 inhabitants, making it the sixth most populous city in Connecticut. We’ll explain exactly why Norwalk, Connecticut is such a wonderful place to live, work, and visit.
Norwalk is famous for its proximity to the water, with its beautiful coastline along Long Island Sound, the Norwalk River, and the Norwalk Islands.
A Brief History of Norwalk, CT
Norwalk was established in 1640 when a man named Roger Ludlow purchased the areas east of the Norwalk river from Chief Mahackemo of the Norwaake (or Naramauke) Indians. Norwalk was then settled in 1649, incorporated September 1651, and named after the Algonquin word noyank, meaning “point of land”, or more probably from the native American name “Naramauke”.
Nearly a century and a half later, during the revolutionary war, the Battle of Norwalk lead to the burning of most of the town.
In 1836, the borough of Norwalk was created, which 74 years later would later be combined with the city of South Norwalk to form the current city.
