NAUGATUCK ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Today Naugatuck is one of only nine boroughs in the state of Connecticut. It became a borough in 1844. One of the differences between a borough and a city or town is the title of the elected officials. Naugatuck does not have councilors or aldermen: the town leaders are called burgesses and it is lead by an elected Mayor... Naugatuck is proud of native son Adrian Gilbert Greenberg, Hollywood designer who designed costumes for the Wizard of Oz... Naugatuck was located on the Litchfield Turnpike connecting New Haven and Litchfield by stagecoach. A couple of favorite stops between New Haven and Litchfield were the Collins Hotel in Straitsville, and the Beecher Inn in Salem Bridge, across the street from the tollhouse, which stood on Church Street near the dam.
