Roxbury is a small town in Litchfield County in west-central Connecticut. It's located in the beautiful area of the state known as the Litchfield Hills. The population of Roxbury is approximately 2,300 residents. Covering 26-square miles, the town of Roxbury is home to several historic sites and exudes a warm, rural atmosphere. The area that is now the town of Roxbury was called "Shepaug" by the Mohican Indian Tribe and means "rocky waters." The Shepaug River runs through the western part of town, flowing south through a narrow valley in the hills on either side. The town was originally settled around 1713 and incorporated in 1796. The picturesque Town Green contains a small cemetery with a granite memorial to Revolutionary War hero, Seth Warner. A native of Roxbury, Warner was captain of the local regiment of the Green Mountain Boys. Two other well-known Revolutionary War heros from Roxbury are Ethan Allen and Remember Baker. The following places in Roxbury are listed on the National Register of Historic Places; Roxbury Center, which includes 32 historic buildings, the Roxbury Iron Mine and Furnace Complex and Roxbury Station Historic District.

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.
