Redding
is a town located in Fairfield County in southwest Connecticut. As of the 2010 census, the population was 9,158 residents. It contains the historic village of Georgetown, which is situated in the southwest corner of the town. Redding is a lovely, historic, community, surrounded by forest, hills and meadows. The town has been home to several famous people, including Mark Twain. It is said the when Twain first saw Redding, he proclaimed, "How beautiful it all is! I did not think it could be as beautiful as this." He built a house in the town of Redding in the early 1900s. Other well-known residents include Mary Travers, of the singing trio, Peter, Paul and Mary, and director/producer, Barry Levinson. Today Redding is primarily a "bedroom community," and according to CNN/Money Magazine, number four on their list of "6-figure income" towns in the United States. There are several places in town listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Some records indicate the town was named for the town of Reading in Berkshire, England. But, it may have been named for one of the early settlers in town - an attorney from Boston named John Read. It is known that Read helped in developing the boundaries of the town and getting it recognized as a parish in 1729. Soon after the town incorporated, the name was changed from Reading to Redding.
