Ansonia CT Community Profile & History
Ansonia, Connecticut is a thriving community in southwestern Connecticut. First settled in 1652, the town boasts a rich and varied history. Originally a part of the Derby township, Ansonia was named for the merchant and philanthropist Anson Greene Phelps and chartered as a separate township in 1889.
The Ansonia Historic District was established by the city in 1969. The district is a microcosm of architectural styles as they developed throughout America's history, with homes dating from the early 1700's through 1970. All of these houses, with the exception of the General David Humphreys House, are privately owned.
Growing concern for the environment in the 1970s prompted local and regional officials to develop the site of the Ansonia Nature & Recreation Center. The park encompasses 104 acres of mature woodlands, a farm pond, upland swamp, wet meadows and old fields. Several miles of nature trails are used for teaching, nature study, cross-country skiing and hiking. The park features an award-winning native wildflower and fern garden and a butterfly/hummingbird garden maintained by the Ansonia Garden Club. Several acres have been set aside for use by the Ansonia Community Organic Gardeners.
Three ball fields are managed by the city's recreation department, and adjacent to the fields is an extensive children's playground. The old clock tower that worked by pulleys and weights now operates electrically. The water trough and hitching posts which were on the street curb for use of horses drawing carriages of patrons to see the new library, now is an outdoor sculpture scene on the left grounds of the library building.
