New-Canaan
is located in Fairfield County in the southwestern corner of Connecticut. As of the 2010 census, the population was 19,738. The town is one of the wealthiest communities in the United States, and ranked first in the country with the highest median income, according to CNN Money. It is approximately one hour from New York City. Many of New York's elite once owned vacation homes here, but liked it so much, they eventually built homes and decided to stay permanently. This helped turn New Canaan into one of the nation's most expensive residential communities. Well-known architects, such as Philip Johnson, built stunning homes in New Canaan, turning it into a showcase for modern architecture. New Canaan has two Metro-North railroad stations - the New Canaan Station and the Talmadge Hill Station. Attractions in the town include the New Canaan Nature Center. Covering 40 acres, the nature center includes a botanical garden, arboretum and nature preserve. The nature center includes wetlands, two ponds, wet and dry meadows, an orchard, a cattail marsh and a 4,000-square-foot greenhouse. There's also a wildflower garden, herb garden, a perennial border and many nature programs are offered throughout the year.
