Bethany CT Community Profile & History
Bethany, Connecticut maintains a classic rural New England ambience while offering easy access to the major cities of New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury. The town is located northwest of New Haven on a plateau between the Naugatuck and West Rivers. Bethany's topography is rolling with abundant woods and farmland. Bethany Lake and Lake Chamberlain are its main bodies of water.
The community was first settled in 1717 as a part of Amity Parish and named as a parish of Woodbridge in 1762 when the Congregational Church was established. Bethany was separated from Woodbridge and incorporated as Connecticut's 132nd town in May 1832.
Contemporary Bethany offers an excellent school system, with grades kindergarten through 6 attending the Bethany Community School. Junior High and Senior High are regional with the Amity Junior High in Bethany and the Amity Senior High in Woodbridge. The historic Clark Memorial Library was remodeled and expanded in 1995.
Bethany seeks to retain its low-density rural residential character through land-use controls and selective open-space acquisition. It is presently one of the area's true rural communities, a preserve of small-town New England life in the midst of Connecticut's major urban and industrial centers.
