First settled by Roger Ludlow, a founder of the Connecticut Colony, in 1639, Fairfield was the site of much turmoil between independent-minded residents and the predomantly Loyalist settlers of the surrounding area during the pre-Revolutionary War era. In the spring of 1779, Fairfiels was raided by 2,000 British troops and burned to the ground in retaliation for its rebel sympathies. Though recovery was slow, the houses and public buildings were restored by the outset of the 19th century. World War I brought unprecedented growth to Fairfield. An economic boom in Bridgeport, the center of a large munitions industry, created a housing shortage in the city, and many of the workers looked to Fairfield to build their homes. The trolley and later the automobile made the countryside accessible to these newly rich members of the middle class, who brought with them new habits, new attitudes, and new modes of dress. The prosperity lasted through the twenties. By the time of the stock market crash in 1929, the population had greatly increased. Even during the Depression, Fairfield kept growing. The opening of the Connecticut Turnpike in the 1950s brought another onslaught of development to Fairfield, and by the 1960s the town's residential, suburban character was firmly established. Today, Fairfield is a thriving community. Its population is extremely diverse, reflecting the different geographic and ethnic backgrounds of its people. Yet despite the many changes of the last few years, residents are proud of the legacy Fairfield citizens have left over 400 years. Through the objects and records they have left behind, we can begin to understand how Fairfield was transformed into the town we know and love today.
