Southbury
is located in rural New Haven County in southwest Connecticut, about 50 miles from Hartford. The population of the town is approximately 18,500 residents. The town has the distinction of being the only community in the U.S. with the name Southbury. It began as a farming community, but with the opening of new highways, namely the Eisenhower Interstate System, the town was opened to new opportunities due to easy access to the capital city of Hartford and to New York. Businesses came to town, including IBM, employing over 2,500 workers and building a large office and research building in Southbury. The town of Southbury is also home to New England's largest "active living" retirement community, which sits on 1,000 acres and is home to 4,000 people. There are several buildings in town listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as the Southbury Historic District, which runs from Main Street from Woodbury Town Line to Old Waterbury Road. Southbury has two public and one private golf course, and two town parks. Three state parks are nearby, as well as a 700-acre Audubon Center nature sanctuary with hiking trails and a birdwatching balcony. The three state parks are Kettletown State Park, Southford Falls State Park and George Waldo State Park, which offer camping, hiking, picnicking and scenic waterfalls.
