It's in southern Connecticut, and contrary to VERY popular belief, isn't full of beer and polos. OK so maybe it is, but not everywhere. Norwalk is NOT that ghetto. We do NOT have keg parties every other weeknight. (though acid and weed are not uncommon, oxy-contin is like not existent) Though we do get SOME ghetto points because 50 Cent owns a house in Newtown, we do not like to think we're ghetto. (at least not a majority) The only reason we are the richest county is because the land and weather is generally pleasant, people constantly move up here, and the real estate has gotten high. Therefore so has tax. Which explains our insane education program. It is very good, but what this place is TRULY filled with is emos and punks. Many of us are actually more likely to be succesful because we get the education. For many of us who have spent all our lives here, we are quite like you guys. Except smarter. The OC is most definitely worse than we are.
Many of the young population of Fairfield County spend their free time in front of high tech computers thinking of ways to tell the rest of America that they aren't rich, wannabe preppies.

A county in the southern part of Connecticut. It has ultra wealthy towns like New Cannan, Westport, Darien, Southport and of course Greenwich. It is the wealthiest county on the East Coast. It contains beaches, estates, and great shopping districts. It also has some of the best school systems in the country.

Fairfield County is the richest part of the East Coast. There are those extremely rich towns such as Greenwich, New Canaan, Darien, Wilton, and Westport, but Norwalk, Bridgeport, Stamford, Newtown, Easton, and Redding aren't as low as people make them seem. Norwalk and Bridgeport are NOT ghetto. Yes, they have their share of violence, but every town does. Greenwich and New Canaan are not just full of snobs either. Money does not make people who they are. There are a select few that think it does, but that is not what Fairfield County is about. It is a very diverse county and Norwalk, Bridgeport, and Stamford hold credit for most of that. The "rich bitches" can think whatever they want to think, but when it comes down to it Fairfield County is also full of the most fake people in the East Coast as well.
Unlike Wilton and Greenwich, Norwalk consists of the most real, down-to-earth people in Fairfield County.

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.
Fairfield county contains some of the most sought after properties outside of New York City.

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.

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
