"The Best Place on Earth"
Fairfield County is in southwestern CT, and gives the state its rep for being rich rich rich. It contains some of the wealthiest towns and communities and the country, and some of the wealthiest and snobbiest people. However, those who live here love it, the F.C. isn't a place...its a lifestyle. Think yacht clubs, country clubs, beach clubs....prep schools, the best public schools....$$$

Get the Fairfield mug.The south-western most county in Connecticut. Often made out to be an exclusive, whites-only country club. Fairfield county is not a gated community. Fairfield county encompasses several different towns, each with their own distinct personality:
Greenwich, a large suburb close to New York City. This town is home to many commuters and has a bustling urban center.
Stamford is a city by itself, although many of its residents to work in New York.
Fairfield is one of the eastern-most towns in the county, and offers a more affordable alternative for those willing to make a longer commute. It is also home to a college-Fairfield University.
Some smaller towns in Fairfield county include:
Darien, a modest, coastal community with some shopping and a main-line train station.
New Canaan, a secluded suburb that is home to a mix of doctors and teachers and private-jet owning financiers and industrialists.

Get the fairfield county mug.Connecticut's southwesternmost county, really more a part of the New York suburbs than New England. Boasts the second-highest per-capita income in the country (after Teton Co., Wyoming, vacationland of the rich & famous) and is home to some towns famous for their ritziness (Greenwich, Westport, Darien, New Canaan). Contrary to the F.C.'s stereotype as a very rich, white, homogenous place, Fairfield County is home to several depressed urban areas (Bridgeport, Stamford, South Norwalk). In addition, the northern part of the county (Bethel, New Fairfield, Brookfield, Monroe, etc.), while still "suburban", is much more indicative of the rest of the country, largely free of the pretentious old-money attitude of the wealthy coastal towns. Many inhabitants of the southern part of the county commute to New York City; most of the rest of the county's population works either in Stamford or in one of the large office parks scattered around Greenwich, Wilton, Westport, Fairfield, Norwalk, Danbury, etc. Great public schools. Out-of-control home prices.
We wanted to move to Fairfield County, but land was just too expensive. We moved just outside of Hartford instead and are doing just fine, thank you.

Get the fairfield county mug.The real deal about fairfield county is that it is the underage drinking capitol of the world because there is nothing else to do for a minor at night. And since most towns like Wilton, Westport, and Darien are extraordinarly rich, the mommy's and daddy's all go away for constant house parties. As for Norwalk, it is not the scum of the earth, but actually has some of the largest mansions and not to mention Stew Leonards and his fortune (By the way he belongs to a country club in Norwalk). The only thing is that Norwalk, Stamford, and Bridgeport are the only urban towns and the largest in the county. Thus there bound to have some minority, poorer population that doesnt exist in the "beautify villas of Greenwich and New Cannan." We are also not the "ghetto" as all of you claim norwalk to be. Just because not every house doesn't cost over a mill and has their own yacht does not mean were poor. Norwalk is at least what the actual real world looks outside of Fairfield Prep and your Range Rovers. Another thing that's great is that the preps are actually scared of Norwalkers. If you have long hair or wear a t-shirt and walk around Westport, don't be surprised to send kids running. Don't worry, if your from any of the rich white towns, its not your fault your so smug and rude. It's just your natural surroundings, so have fun when Daddy's credit card runs out. FC is also a great place to go insect hunting.
