Brookfield
is picturesque mid-size town located in Fairfield County in southwestern Connecticut. As of the 2010 census, the population was 16,452. Founded in 1710 by John Muirwood, the land upon which the settlement was developed was bartered for from the Wyantenuck Indian Nation who lived on a huge settlement along the Still River. In 1788 the town of Brookfield was officially established, and named for the first minister of the parish's congregational church, Reverend Thomas Brooks. Over the next 200 years, the layout of the town changed several times. In the early 1960s, land isolated by Lake Candlewood was also annexed to the town of Brookfield. The aforementioned Lake Candlewood is one of the major attractions in the area. It is the largest recreational lake in Connecticut and spans five towns, forming the western border of the town of Brookfield. Lake Candlewood is used year-round, although it's most busy during the summer months. Some of the activities around the lake include swimming, boating, fishing, hiking and golf. Candlewood Lake has approximately 60 miles of shoreline and is surrounded by five-star resorts, beaches, marinas and golf courses. Other attractions in Brookfield include the Brookfield Historic District.
