A small town in central Connecticut, nestled in the Connecticut River Valley where Hick and Yuppie collide. A town with only 7000 people and involved in a regional school system with Killingworth. The center of town is known as Higganum, the only one in the world. Higganum just recieved new sidewalks for all of the pedestrians walking to a bunch of aboandoned buiildings to walk on. New prallel parking along route 81 will help ease the parking situation that the town does not have. It is about 20 minutes from anything worthwhile looking at, besides Stop and Shop. Within, there is the Country Market and the Ghandi Mart which is open 24/7. There are only three stop lights and the town is just now building a Dunkin Donuts. It's the town you drive through, but do not stop unless you get caught at a red light to get to the Goospeed or Middletown. If you want a park you can check out the Haddam Meadows on the river front, Field Park, or the massive state forest known as Cockaponsett. Many youg people in town enjoy racing down Beaver Meadow Rd. or smoking pot in various places including some of the parks. No one famous resides in town though Wnbc-TV news anchor Joanne Nesti recently moved out of town. Overall, Haddam is a good place to live, there's just not much to do in town.

The fourth Largest town in Connecticut (land-wise), nestled in the Connecticut River Valley. It has a population of roughly 8000, and is made up of East Haddam, Moodus, Hadlyme, Millington and Lake Hayward. It is about 20 minutes from anything and is home to a subpar school system that seldom gives back to the community in way of facility use. Within, there is the Gristmill Market and a 7-11 which is either inhabited by pale students who think they're ghetto, or students in their brand new pick up trucks that think they're hicks. There are no stop lights, only two blinking red lights to indicate a stop sign at a four way intersection, and the town is generally not allowed to open any sort of chain or franchise because it is categorized as a historical town.
Made famous by Fox Hopyard golf course, the historical Goodspeed Opera House and the multi-championship winning high school softball team (accredited to the fact that there are hardly any other sports to play in the Nathan Hale-Ray school system), East Haddam has a small tourist population mostly consisting of the elderly in the summer time. There is a bad teen alcohol, teen drug use, and teen un-safe sex problem in East Haddam that most parents tend to ignore or enable, often times accredited to the fact that East Haddam is boring. The Goodspeed Opera House has hosted a few famous people (James Vanderbeek, Julie Andrews) and actor Michael McKean has been said to live in town at one point.

The most boring town ever founded. The most entertaning thing to do is to go to 7-11 and hang out. Home to Bashan Lake
