WAY OT--Obscure sections of Connecticut Towns -- do you have any??

[hoopingcrane]

Whigsville---in days gone by was a section of Bristol, maybe Terryville on the Bristol/Terryville line
Wequetequock---a bend in the road (Rt 1) between Westerly, R.I and Mystic, Ct. (a female comic came from there--used it in her routines)

Many of the sections of towns with separate names were postal districts- in Central Ct, Wallingford- Tracy and Yalesville, Hamden- Mt. Carmel, Middletown- Westfield, Berlin- Kensington, Southington- Plantsville, Middlefield- Rock Fall.

In Branford you have Stony Creek and the Thimble Islands.

Also Indian Neck, Pine Orchard and Short Beach.

You really nailed Rowaytonites to a T, Alydar. I used to live about a mile or so from the Rowaytonites border and went to Jr. High with the kids from there. We used to laugh than the the kids would never admit they were from So Norwalk. Rowayton has their own post office, even the gov. Refused to recognize So. Norwalk. Belle Island and Wilson Point are even wealthier and you have to drive thru the worst of So No to get there

Oh in that case we'll just annex that piece onto NY, because we need a lot more famous NYers to be proud of. Trouble is we already have at least one place called Riverside, but there's a few other duplicated towns in NY. We'll leave Brooklyn, CT alone, because one Brooklyn is by far enough.

I can add the Buckland section of Manchester, which the Buckland Mall is NOT in, and Mansfield Depot, Mansfield Hollow and Eagleville, the home of one of the things I miss about CT -- Champlion's General Store, on the first of the 2 right-angle turns just above the Eagleville Pond dam as you're heading toward Coventry on 275.

I'm surprised Nayaug hasn't gotten a call yet. Back in the day they used to call themselves the 51st state. These days I think of it mostly as the home of my favorite Chinese restaurant - Char Koon. And the eastern stop of the Glastonbury-Rocky Hill ferry.

Who knows where the Whistleville section of South Norwalk is?
