Here's a map of former, major stagecoach routes and major inter-town highways in CT. The map is not exhaustive, but it shows CT before many "newer" towns were formed/incorporated and gives a good sense for how development was prioritized.Few-Information7570 t1_iuf4wbk wrote
Very cool. Here two is a later map where Wilton has been formed and east and Weston have been split off from Fairfield.

Bridgeport exists… and it’s in bold letters to indicate it’s city status!

And we still have interesting issues with borders. Could black rock go back to being part of Fairfield? On Ridgefields east side, Lewisboro could easily just be an extension as it was before it was ceded to NYS. Interesting stuff.
