Trumbull, Connecticut
Trumbull, a town in Fairfield County, Connecticut in the New England region of the United States, is bordered by the towns of Monroe, Shelton, Stratford, Bridgeport, Fairfield and Easton along Connecticut's Gold Coast.[1] The population was 36,018 according to the 2010 census.[2]
Family Circle magazine selected Trumbull as the 7th "Best Town for Families" in the US, and U.S. News & World Report magazine ranked Trumbull as one of the top 15 "Best Places to Retire" in Connecticut.[3][4]
History
Trumbull was settled in 1639 entirely as a part of the town of Stratford, Connecticut, and remained under their control until 1797. The northwest farmers of Stratford first petitioned the Colony of Connecticut to establish their own separate village apart from Stratford in May 1725. The farmers wished to call their village Nickol's Farms, after the family that owned the large farm in its center. A separate village was approved in October 1725 and called Unity.
In 1744, Unity merged with the village of Long Hill (organized in 1740), of the Stratfield section of Stratford, to form the Society of North Stratford. North Stratford controlled its own religious and educational affairs. However, to have a voice in governmental functions, such as adopting laws and establishing taxes, the inhabitants were required to attend town meetings in Stratford, an overnight journey for some.
After ten years of unsuccessful petitions, the Connecticut General Assembly granted complete town rights in October 1797. The new town was named for George Washington's staunch supporter, Revolutionary War Governor, patriot, statesman and merchant, Jonathan Trumbull (1710–1785).[5]
