The Green - Norwalk, CT Area Guide

An attractive neighborhood with a rich history

Downtown Riverfront Walkable Historic Park Wooded Attractive

In the 1700s, the Norwalk Green looked quite different than the beautiful park it is today: cows and other livestock grazed in the common land, and several were contained to the grassy area in the heart of the small community. In 1851, the area became the town square, and today it is a historic park with a bandstand, a memorial, and benches. The neighborhood surrounding the Norwalk Green is commonly referred to as "the Green."

The Green is filled with 18th and 19th century architecture ranging from Colonials to Queen Anne Victorians. The neighborhood follows the Norwalk River, extending from the Connecticut Turnpike north to North Avenue. Situated in the heart of the downtown area, this hilly and tree-filled neighborhood is as picture-perfect as it is convenient. In addition to the Norwalk Green, residents have fast access to Norwalk City Hall, the Norwalk Historical Society, and Stepping Stones Museum for Children.
