Information About Local Schools

Ansonia Connecticut is a beautiful old Connecticut town on the banks of the Naugatuck River . The school system offers vocational-technical options at the high school level. The town boasts a 104-acre nature and recreation center with hiking trails, a fishing pond as well as nature exhibits and picnic areas. The homes in Ansonia are moderately priced, but property values are rising.

Ansonia is a town rich with history. A peaceful group of Native American "Indians" once roamed the countryside and never became hostile to the English settlers. In 1654, Edward Wooster came to Ansonia searching for a good place to grow hops for his brewery a short distance away in Milford. He found Ansonia an ideal location especially along the banks of the Naugatuck River. He soon settled there and within a year others joined him to establish homes in the area.

Ansonia is also the site of the General David Humphreys House originally built in 1698. The restored home contains exhibits detailing the life of this fascinating figure. He operated a woolen mill in Middlebury, constructed factories in Seymour and served as an aide to George Washington during the American Revolutionary War. He later served as a U.S. Ambassador.

Ansonia has many homes that have been preserved from the early 1700's. As architectural styles developed through history, Ansonia has managed to acquire and preserve a variety of representations. More modern homes of various sizes and styles can also be found on lovely wooded parcels of land.

The town's primary attraction is the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center, a 104-acre park with over two miles of nature trails, a fishing pond, a wildflower garden and environmental exhibits. There are also areas for play and picnicking.
