Beginnings [1,2]

The first settlement at Westport was in 1648 at a place called Bankside (later known as Greens Farms). The first settlers were Thomas Newton, Daniel Frost, Henry Gray, John Green, and Francis Andrews. During the Revolutionary Way, a lot of fighting took place here, resulting from General Tryon's raid on Danbury. Westport was incorporated in 1835.
