Trumbull, Connecticut is a beautiful, vital community located in the hilly country north of Bridgeport, CT in the watershed of the Pequonnock River. Trumbull was first settled in the late 1600s by residents of the Society of Stratford. In 1725 they founded the Parish of Unity in the area that is now known as Nichols and established the Unity Congregational Church in 1730.
At the same time, others began settling the areas now known as Trumbull Center, Long Hill and Tashua. In 1744 the Parish of Unity and Long Hill became North Stratford, which was controlled by the government of Stratford. By the late 1700s local residents petitioned the state to become incorporated as a separate town and in October of 1797 the Town of Trumbull, named for the Revolutionary War Governor Jonathan Trumbull, was incorporated. By the end of the next century, the Town had become largely a rural agricultural community, home to industries such as mining and manufacturing.
After World War II, when Americans began moving from the country's cities to the suburbs, Trumbull experienced significant population growth and began to develop the residential character that categorizes the town today. Its population grew by over 20,000 people between 1960 and 1970. Today Trumbull is a largely residential community with extensive parks and recreation areas that boasts an exceptionally high quality of life.
