Welcome to Norwalk

A comfortable, relaxed way of life focused on the outdoors.
 
Norwalk offers a something-for-everyone appeal coupled with a diverse population, award-winning schools and a rich maritime history. Spanning 36 square miles, the city provides an impressive dining scene ranging from excellent seafood to Latin, Asian and Italian cuisine. Outdoor activities are a way of life, with fantastic boating, golfing, hiking, biking and more.
 
Founded in 1649, Norwalk was once an agricultural region featuring corn and wheat crops and dairy cows that grazed along today's Calf Pasture Beach. By the late 1800s, the city became known as "Oyster Town" and served as the world's oyster capital thanks to the Norwalk Island chain, which creates an ideal environment for the bivalves. Today, with nearly 90,000 residents, Norwalk is Connecticut's sixth-largest city.
