Beacon-Falls
is a small town in New Haven County in southwestern Connecticut. As of the 2000 census, the population was 5.246 residents. Beacon Falls is a quintessential four-season New England town. Green summers, glorious autumns of warm golds, orange and reds, pastel-colored spring blossoms and winterscapes that appeal to photographers, artists and nature lovers. Beacon Falls was first settled in 1678 and incorporated in 1871. The town was created from the neighboring towns of Bethany, Seymour, Naugatuck and Oxford. The village of Pine Bridge is located within the town of Beacon Falls. Rich in New England history, Beacon Falls lies within the heart of Naugatuck Valley, along the Naugatuck River near High Rock State Park. Recreational opportunities in the area include hiking, biking, horseback riding, kayaking and canoeing, touring and scenic drives. The area on which Beacon Falls was established was at one time an Indian camping ground. Many Native American artifacts have been found in the area, including arrowheads and other relics. Two buildings in Beacon Falls are listed on the State Register of Historic Places; The Tracy S. Lewis House and Rimmon School, a one-room schoolhouse (ca. 1830) located on Pinesbridge Road. In addition, the Depot Street Bridge and the Home Woolen Company are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Beacon Falls Weather & Climate

|
|
|
South-Central Connecticut lies within the transition zone of humid subtropical and humid continental. The pertinent characteristics of Connecticut's climate are: equal distribution of precipitation among the four seasons, large ranges of temperature both daily and annually, and considerable diversity of the weather over short periods of time. A large number of storm centers and air-mass fronts pass near or over Connecticut during a year. A unique type of air mass results in a severe winter storm in this area known as "northeasters". They generate very strong winds and heavy rain and produce the greatest snowstorms in the winter. Heavy or dense fog is observed on an average of about 25 days per year in both coastal and inland sections.
