One of the amazing towns we have the honor of working in is New Fairfield.

A few fun facts about New Fairfield (courtesy of Wikipedia):

Candlewood Lake was named for the Native American practice of using stripped wood from pine trees as kindling for fire.

New Fairfield was home to the Candlewood Playhouse, a 650-seat summer stock theater run by the Gateway Playhouse, currently operating in Bellport, New York.

In pre-colonial times, the indigenous people of New Fairfield were part of an alliance of tribes that extended from the source of the Housatonic to the sea.

In 1724, colonial settlers from Fairfield, Connecticut received approval from the General Assembly of the Colony of Connecticut to establish a new township. According to one account, they negotiated with Chief Squantz of the Schaghticoke tribe of Algonquian lineage.
