Easton is a traditional New England town with a total area of 28.6 square miles (27.4 square miles of land and 1.2 acres of water) and a population of approximately 7,500 residents. Easton is situated amongst the towns of Weston, Redding, Monroe, Trumbull, Newtown and Fairfield, Connecticut. An easy commute to New York City is via Metro North Train Line at Westport, Fairfield or Bridgeport stations.

Established 1845. North Fairfield was purchased from the Aspetuck Indians in 1670. In 1787, the parish of North Fairfield was created. The town of Easton was not officially established until 1845 when the parish of North Fairfield was divided into two sections, thus creating the towns of Easton and Weston.

Easton’s greatest natural resources are the Aspetuck River and Reservoir. About half of Easton’s land is owned by the Aquarion Water Company of Connecticut which supplies most of the water to the growing populations of the surrounding towns and municipalities. Counted among Easton’s most famous residents was the indomitable Helen Keller, deaf and blind, she championed for the rights and respect of the handicapped until her death in June of 1968. Having spent her final days in Easton, her stately residence at Aspetuck Corners remains a beautiful landmark property. Multi-generational cattle, horse and chicken farms continue to thrive throughout the rural countryside of Easton; apple orchards, nurseries, fields of corn, pumpkins, gourds, strawberries, blueberries and wildflowers, abundant throughout the landscape. Seasonal activities are plentiful throughout the year providing a wholesome lifestyle steeped in tradition.

Wonderful antique houses of varied styles including very early Colonial, Greek Revival, Federal and Victorian grace meandering country roads. A few newly developed areas provide larger Colonial and Contemporary residences yet blend seamlessly with the bucolic landscape.

Easton’s two public schools include Samuel Staples Elementary school and Helen Keller Middle School. High School students attend Joel Barlow High School in Redding.

We look forward to welcoming you to Easton!
