Welcome to Brookfield

Fairfield County Connecticut

The town of Brookfield is located in southwestern Connecticut, bordered on the west by Candlewood Lake and on the east by picturesque Lake Lillinonah. The Still River meanders through the town. It was originally a parish called the society of Newbury. The town was incorporated on land from Danbury, New Milford and Newtown in 1788. The town maintains a significant historic district and conducts tours of restored houses, schools, churches, and gardens dating from colonial times. Despite its rapid growth, it has managed to retain its small-town friendliness and rural character.
