Wants you To KNOW

Stratford, Connecticut, blends history, nature, and community charm. Founded in 1639 along Long Island Sound and the Housatonic River, it boasts a rich heritage—from shipbuilding to becoming the birthplace of the American helicopter industry with Igor Sikorsky. Outdoor adventures abound, from hiking in Roosevelt Forest to swimming or boating at Short and Long Beach. Year-round community events, including a farmers market, concerts, and festivals add to its vibrant spirit, complemented by local eateries, unique shops, and landmarks like Boothe Memorial Park. With its distinctive “forest to shore” appeal, Stratford is both a welcoming destination and a proud place to call home.
