Population: 65,858 Danbury has been a hub for neighboring towns from its beginnings. The town developed into a center for the distribution and production of various goods. Efforts early in this century to attract a variety of industries positioned the town for the economic diversity it enjoys today. Today Danbury offers a wide range of housing styles from renovated farmhouses and gracious Victorians to modern colonials, contemporary dwellings and ranch homes. Single family houses predominated until the 1980's, when several condominiums were built, some with lakefront views. Danbury housing is amongst the most affordable in Fairfield. Recently, the downtown area has been the focus of redevelopment efforts. Grass trees and a new clock were installed along the median, new sidewalks and amenities were added to Main Street and a Town Green established in front of the Patriot Garage. Recreational opportunities are enhanced by Candlewood Lake, the largest body of fresh water in Connecticut. This also provides Danbury with prime beach front residential property and a town beach. Danbury's population is 65,260 and it covers 44 square miles.
