Southbury is located in New Haven County
Population: 15,818 Southbury is a delightful town well-suited to family living and comprised of rural country area, friendly suburban neighborhood and intriguing historic districts. Attractively located a short distance from major business and commercial centers, and home to numerous fine establishments of its own, Southbury offers the best of all worlds.
Southbury features several distinct villages of historic note which add to the New England character of the town. Historic Main Street, once a Pomperaug Indian trail, showcases the fine architecture of the town's first homes. The Bullet Hill School is also on Main Street. It is one of the oldest school buildings in the country, operating from 1689 to 1942 and used today as a unique classroom where students experience a typical nineteenth century school day. Russian Village was designed by the son of Leo Tolatoy and settled by immigrants fleeing the Russian Revolution. The community is rich in cultural history and encompasses St. Sergius Chapel, the center of all nineteenth century village activity. Heritage Village is a highly desirable retirement community with elegant homes and appealing events. Scattered throughout the historic areas and across the countryside is an attractive variety of homes in many styles and sizes.
The students of Southbury attend their own elementary and middle schools in town, and share a high school, also located in town, with neighboring communities. Special education and evening classes for adults supplement a solid education. A lively community spirit is evident in the civic and cultural organizations of town. A Youth Commission, Council on Aging and other clubs see to the needs of all residents. A Cultural Arts Committee offers exciting musical and dramatic performances throughout the year, and an /arts Festival each May. An array of retail establishments and the charming shops of Heritage Village provide goods and services to residents. Nearby Danbury and Waterbury offer more extensive shopping and entertainment possibilities.
The wide open spaces of Southbury lend themselves to leisure and sporting pleasure. The Athletic Association maintains excellent facilities, and Lake Zoar features water sports and equestrian fun.
