Established in 1640 as a fishing port and harbor, Norwalk offers the charm of the past with the dynamics of the future. Today, Norwalk has all the amenities of a big city with a small town feel.

The City of Norwalk features the revitalized historic downtown South Norwalk (SoNo) district with top-notch restaurants, art galleries, shops and nightlife; varying inland residential neighborhoods, and a flourishing business district.

Norwalk's thriving arts and cultural community provides diverse educational and recreational opportunities. The annual SoNo Arts Celebration attracts more than 80,000 visitors every August. The Norwalk Museum can be found in the old City Hall building, and the SoNo Switch Tower Museum tells the story of railroad switch operators who worked at the tower. The Stepping Stones Children Museum, ranked one of the top 50 children's museums in the country, provides five galleries of interactive exhibits for children 10 and under. The Norwalk Seaport Association hosts the annual Oyster Festival and promotes the preservation and restoration of the shorefront area, including the Sheffield Lighthouse. The lighthouse, located on Sheffield Island, began active service in 1868. Its grounds are maintained as a museum and preserve.

The Rowayton area, a historical harbor village, prospers near the opening of Five-Mile River. Its quaint seaside charm contributes to Norwalk’s growing popularity as a place to live, work and visit.
