Norwalk
is located in Fairfield County in southeast Connecticut. As of the 2010 census, the population was 85,603, which makes it the sixth largest city in Connecticut. The city is considered part of the New York City metropolitan area. Norwalk is well-known for its annual Oyster Festival held each September, and is nicknamed "Oyster Town." The town is part of what is called the "Gold Coast" of Connecticut, which is one of the highest-income areas of the United States. This region is what makes the state of Connecticut one of the most affluent states in the nation. In addition to the Oyster Festival, the city of Norwalk offers many other attractions for visitors. The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum is one of the oldest Second-Empire-style country homes ever built in the United States. The 62-room mansion was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971. The Norwalk Islands offer fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, birdwatching, hiking and camping. The Norwalk Maritime Museum exhibits displays of the marine life and ecology of the Long Island Sound. Other sights to see in Norwalk include the Green's Ledge (Green's Reef) Lighthouse, the Sheffield Island Lighthouse, the Mill Hill Historic Park and Museum and the Stepping Stones Museum for Children.

The Southwest Corner of Connecticut has a climate that 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 annual weather pattern flow is offshore, from the colder landmasses to the north and west. The adjacent waters result in the region being several degrees cooler in summer and slightly milder with less snowfall in winter than locations further away from the coast. This zone receives 41.7 inches of precipitation and 24.8 inches of snowfall in an average year. Thunderstorms occur on an average of 20 to 30 days per year, with the greatest frequency during the summer months and in the afternoon or evening.
