Woodbury is located in Litchfield County
Population: 8,131 Lovely Woodbury is set just north of Southbury in picturesque Litchfield County. This small rural town is rich in scenery and New England charm, qualities which residents strive to preserve while yielding to modern amenities. A degree of light industry and shopping, including an impressive selection of fine antique shops - in fact the largest concentration of dealers in New England, are found in town. More extensive shops, cultural offerings and employment are a short distance away via local roadways.
Woodbury was settled in 1672 and incorporated in 1674. Glimpacs of its history can be seen throughout town, but the town center, designated as a national historic district, presents a delightful time capsule of early colonial life. Points of interest include the Hurd House, built in the latter half of the seventeenth century which has been meticulously restored to its original conditions; the Glebe House, a fine example of colonial architecture and furnishings, now open to the public as a museum, and featuring a spectacular botanical display designed by the great English garden writer Gertrude Jekyll; and, the 1867 No. 2 South Center District School, which provides local school children with a sample of early schooling methods.
Residences include many of the first homes of Woodbury - well preserved by residents and a wide variety of older colonials, deluxe condominiums complexes and new developments of traditional design.
Woodbury is proud of its small but complete public school system. Students receive a solid education through one elementary school, a middle school and a high school as part of Regional School District #14.
The scenic open lands of town provide ample space for athletes and nature enthusiasts alike. The Hollow Recreation Area features 70 acres of sweeping meadows and wooded areas along the Pomperaug River. The Flanders Nature Center offers exciting and educational exhibits, a wildlife sanctuary and excellent trails for hiking. The town maintains facilities for swimming, Little League, soccer and tennis. A Rod and Gun Club hosts a variety of sporting events, and Woodbury Ski and Racquet offers both down hill and cross-country skiing in the winter months.
