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.

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.
The WASP population of Fairfield County has soared to astronomical proportions.

I don't understand half of the garbage written up here. Yes Fairfield County has some rich towns including Greenwich, Westport, New Canaan, etc.... but if you're not in one of those huge town you're not surround by million dollar homes or anything close to that. Sure we have alot of preppy kids who know how to use daddy's credit card better than they can spell their name, but we also have kids that have had jobs since they were 15, had to buy their own car, pay their own insurance like any other kid in any other county. Just because there are SOME towns that are wealthy doesn't mean everyone here is stuck up, snobby, and rich. We work hard for what we have and the majority of us don't think of ourselves as better than anyone else because we know just how hard our parents work and we do the same. Don't stereotype everyone in Fairfield County because of a few rich town where you can find a stereo-typical rich snob.
Parts of Fairfield County:
Greenwich, Westport, New Canaan, Etc = Lots of Money
Bridgeport, Norwalk, Stratford, Shelton, Trumbull, etc = Places where people still work hard to make a living, pay their mortgage, teach their children the value of the a dollar and make them work to have their own car. Sure there are some nicer homes in any town, but it's no different than any other town anywhere else

Fairfiel county is a wealthy county, either top or second richest in the country. However some towns, such as norwalk bridgeport or stamfort have major problems just as any other city, ive lived in norwalk all my life and have fam in the port and i can tell you these towns make you feel like being in another state after visiting say wilton or westport. bridgeport has some ruff areas and lots of crime (at least in all the parts ive been to) and norwalk expecialy sono has some of the worst shit ive seen. most people get the impression only sono is bad in norwalk, however there are real gangs in other parts of the town and even gangs with wiggers in some parts
westport:
im so glad we have all this money and live in fairfield county
Norwalk:
i hope we dont get jumped on the way to the bus stop

One of the U.S.'s most afluent counties which is located in Southwestern Connecticut bordering westchester county, across the long Island Sound it borders on Long Island. It contains many wealthy people including the Sachs from Goldman Sachs, Gene Wilder, Martha Stewart, and the list is extremely long. It contains Bridgeport which is where all the minorities live and has actually improved financially over the past few years as has norwalk. Contrary to popular belief Stamford IS ALSO a very wealthy city except for its southern district. Stamford cotains area code 06903 which borders Bedford and Pound Ridge NY, Greenwich, and New Canaan. This area code is the most afluent in the area.
You only wish you could live in Fairfield County.

Certain parts, rediculously wealthy, other parts... not so much, but not exactly "roughin it" either. Good public schools, but don't need em, cause they send their kids to kent, exeter, deerfield, hotckiss, avon... you know, prep skewl. Like the richer version of northern westchester new york, if its imaginable. Country Clubbers, popped collars, soccer moms driving M3s, and stalling em out cause they can't drive stick. Shag haircuts, foxy females, suprisingly, not out spokenly cocky, but still carry themselves in an obnoxious fashion. no one uses their turn signal either. not even the cops
i'm from new york, what can i say?

Fairfield is full of parents that can't let go of their past and because of their affluence, decided to re-create it by recently switching back to two high schools. Unforutunately they didn't consider their children while making this decision and now the once wide varity of electives and extra ciricular activities have been cut in half. Their beach area is a great place to party and it's a great town to go to college in (Sacred Heart and Fairfield University). Again, Fairfield has forgot about their youth, their half ass excuse for a teen center and lack of anything to do for entertainment has lead to a widespread use of drugs. Oxy Cotin and cocaine are pretty popular.
Westport is a club for elitests that can't afford to live in Southport. Westport is just a place to spend money. If you drive through here on a week night after 10 o'clock in anything less than a BMW, you're almost guaranteed to get pulled over by at least two cops.
Ever since the deindustrialization of Bridgeport, the city has rendered itself a rather useless place (unless you're trying to pay cheap rent). Eventhough local government has attempted to clean up the city, Fairfield County considers Bridgeport dirty place we're crappy drugs and after hours liquor stores are found in abundance. Unfourtunately it's doomed to stay this way unless the residents starts to care about the place they live. Litter covers more area in this city than the actual population.
As bad as Bridgeport is, Norwalk takes the cake. The roads are just as bad as the people, cracked out and filthy. Litter however doesn't seem to be as big of a problem here but... the people themselves are trash. It's fair to assume most of the people in this city have lived under the powerlines for a number of years. Norwalk has some nicer areas where it starts to border Westport and this is the area most Norwalkers like to pride themselves on... but we all know Norwalk sucks, it's Stamford's ugly sister.
No one really cares much about the other towns but in case you're interested, here's a list.
Bethel
Bridgeport
Brookfield
Danbury
Darien
Fairfield
Greenwich
Monroe
New Canaan
New Milford
New Fairfield
Newtown
Norwalk
Redding
Ridgefield
Shelton
Stamford
Stratford
Trumbull
Westport
Weston
Wilton
Westchester
Note: Racial profiling is common in all of Fairfield County.
Also Note: It's fair to assume that the youth population does at least 2 out of 4 listed below:
- Drinks and/or does drugs
- Listens to Dave Matthews
- Goes to private school
- Has mexicans do their landscaping
Lastely note: All laurelton girls are sluts
Guy: "Wow... you must be rich, you're from Fairfield County!"
