Welcome to the Wonderful Town of Fairfield, CT

Fairfield, Connecticut

History of Fairfield

The Puritans and Congregationalists from the Massachusetts Bay Colony sought to establish a society subject to their own rules. The Massachusetts General Court granted them access to settle around the Hartford area. In 1639, the Fundamental Orders was formed and established Connecticut as a self-ruled entity. One of the framers of the Fundamental Orders, Roger Ludlowe, purchased a large piece of land from the Pequonnock Indians, and the town of Fairfield was established.
