Noank
is a historic village located in the town of Groton in southeastern Connecticut. The population is approximately 2,000. Noank village has a history of shipbuilding, fishing and lobstering. The original settlement of Noank is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, where in the 1600s, the area was known as a summer camping ground of the Pequot Indians. In 1712, the land comprising the Noank Peninsula was acquired by James Morgan through a lottery. Today this peninsula, known as Groton Long Point, is a popular summer resort for tourists. The summer tourist season in the area runs from mid-June to mid-September. In nearby Groton Long Point, summer cottages sit side by side along the beach and sailboats dot the water as children play in the sand. The Groton Long Point Yacht Club runs many classes for children, including swimming, sailing, tennis lessons and more. Much like a summer camp, they also organize events such as dances, movies and scavenger hunts for children; concerts (at nearby Esker Point,) dances, and fireworks for adults. In Noank, you can enjoy swimming, boating, sailing, fishing, hiking, beachcombing, biking, tennis and much more. There are many wonderful seafood restaurants in the village and peninsula, as well. The village of Noank also hosts the longest-running, continuous Memorial Day Parade in the country held every year since 1875.

Noank Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Southeast Connecticut lies within the transition zone of humid subtropical and a humid continental. Although the seasonal extremes are slightly moderated by Long Island Sound, the primary weather pattern flow is offshore, from the colder landmasses to the north and west. A large number of air-mass fronts pass over this region during a year: cold, dry air pouring down from sub arctic North America, warm, moist air streaming up from the Gulf of Mexico, and cool, damp air moving in from the North Atlantic. Thunderstorms occur on an average of 20 to 30 days per year. Aside from infrequent tornadoes and hurricanes, coastal storms or "northeasters" are the most serious weather hazard in Connecticut. They generate very strong winds and heavy rain and produce the greatest snowstorms in the winter.
