The Community

Centuries ago, Native American signal fires blazed atop the dramatic glacial ridges of Wilton. Today, this richly historic town cherishes a rural ambiance. Winding back roads pass through the rolling hills, beautifully refreshed by woods, streams, ponds, and the Norwalk River. Originally a farming community, Wilton’s growth has been carefully zoned and monitored, protecting its air of quietly traditional grace. More than 200 restored antique homes dating from the 1700’s and 1800’s harmoniously mingle with the more recent residences, whose carried architectural styles complement Wilton’s timeless charm. Most homes are set on two-acre properties and several condominiums exist. Primarily residential, Wilton is 26.8 square miles in area, has a population of 16,500 people and is governed by an elected Board of Selectmen.

Educational and Cultural Facilities

Wilton’s highly praised public schools system is comprised of two elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. The Wilton Heritage Museum provides glimpses of Early Americana and the Wilton Play Shop provides the pleasures of Community Theater.

Recreational Facilities

Revisit the primitive past. Hundreds of acres of prime parkland invite camping, fishing, swimming, picnicking and enjoyment of Wilton’s nature areas. Athletic enthusiasts can enjoy all twelve all-weather tennis courts, two pools, organized sports on playing fields, nearby golf facilities and the extensive recreational programs offered by the Parks and Recreation Department. Local shopping is available in the Wilton Town Center and along State Route 7. Danbury and Stamford Malls are twenty minutes away.

Two train stations, Wilton Station and Cannondale Station, are served by The New Haven Line of Metro-North, providing comfortable commuter rail service to New York City’s Grand Central Station and points beyond.
