Easton

Easton, Connecticut is located in the heart of bucolic Fairfield County. Nearly 7,000 residents populate its 27 square miles. In Easton, you'll find a place that has retained much of the rural appeal tha has attracted generations of residents over the years. The history of the area runs deep. Founded in 1757, Easton's level of commitment to maintaining its original 18th century beauty and seclusion is truly remarkable. The result is a completely private and tranquil setting, rich in nature and country charm. Fruit orchards, dairy farms and a warm and inviting general store are the only commerce found in Easton, quite the contrary to the active industries of innkeeping, milling and blacksmithing that once flourished here. The town offers 7,500 acres of forest surrounding three vast reservoirs, further enhancing the magnificent natural beauty. Easton has been able to maintain its rural character over the years through its strict zoning of either one or three acre parcels for building. The citizens of Easton are fortunate to inherit a town with so much of its New England character intact and peaceful, easy living abundant.
