Easton Connecticut
Easton was first settled
in 1757 by men from Fairfield. In 1762 a congregation called the
North Fairfield Society was established, and it gradually evolved
into Easton. In 1787 Weston, then including lands now defined as
Easton, was incorporated from Fairfield. The area was slow to
develop because of the rough hills along the Aspetuck River, and so
it was not until 1845 that Easton was incorporated from Weston.
Today, while close to the New York metropolitan area, Easton remains
a quiet and even rural residential town. Half of the town's property
is owned by the Aquarion Water Company of Connecticut, the major
supplier of water in the area.
