NORTHERN FAIRFIELD COUNTY sits just below Litchfield County. This area is often referred to as the Greater Danbury area. Nestled at the foot of the Berkshire Mountains, Danbury lies next to the New York State border and is often referred to as the "Gateway to New England".  The hub of the Housatonic Valley Region and its close proximity to metropolitan centers, natural surroundings, many lakes and ponds, excellent school systems, cultural opportunities, healthcare facilities, low crime rate, quality of life, and real estate values makes this region a wonderful place to live.

The towns that comprise greater Danbury include Bethel, Brookfield, Danbury, New Fairfield, Newtown, Ridgefield and Redding. While each town varies in size of population and industry, all share the quality of closeknit community. Several major corporations, including Boehringer Ingelheim, Cartus, GE and Praxair operate headquarters or affiliated offices in the greater Danbury area.
