About Wilton
Wilton is a town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States. As of the 2020 census, the town population was 18,503. The town is part of the Western Connecticut Planning Region.
Officially recognized as a parish in 1726, Wilton is a residential community with open lands, historic architecture such as the Round House, and many colonial homes. Many residents commute to nearby cities such as Stamford or New York City.
Wilton has offices for ASML, Breitling SA, Cannondale Bicycle Corporation, Melissa & Doug, and formerly Deloitte. The headquarters of AIG Financial Products, whose collapse played a role in the 2008 financial crisis, is located in Wilton.
The transformation from a small farming town to a suburban residential community has been controlled by zoning, efforts to preserve the town's colonial landmarks, and the reservation of almost 1,000 acres (400 ha) of open space for active and passive recreational use. The Cannondale Historic District, in north-central Wilton, retains its historic character and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
