Westport is a quaint seaside town located in southwest Connecticut on Long Island Sound, only 47 miles from New York City. As of the 2010 census, the population was 26,391. Westport was ranked 10th in a list of "wealthiest towns in the United States with a population between 20,000 and 65,000" and is the second wealthiest community in Connecticut. Westport began as an agricultural town and leading producer of onions, but the early 1900s saw a cultural shift in the town as more artists, writers and musicians moved to the area. Author F. Scott Fitzgerald lived in Westport, which soon became known as a "creative haven." The town also became known for its "chic New York-style shopping," excellent school system and natural beauty. Westport offers miles of beautiful coastline to explore, and many city parks along the banks of the Saugatuck River, as well as along the Sound. Other attractions include the Westport Public Library, which features displays of art from local artists, and the Rolnick Observatory, open for free to the public on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Earthplace: The Nature Discovery Center in Westport is a natural history museum and wildlife sanctuary/nature center. The 62-acre facility includes walking trails, public nature education programs, wildlife rehabilitation, an interactive nature discovery area, summer camp and a water quality monitoring program.

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.
