About Shelton

Shelton is located in Fairfield County and is also a part of the Naugatuck Valley and Housatonic Valley/ Lower region. It was a town settled by the English originally as part of Stratford in 1639. It was split from Stratford in 1789 named Huntington, after Samuel Huntington. Then, in the 1860s it was named after the Shelton Company’s founder Edward N. Shelton. The present Shelton was named a city in 1915 and merged with the town of Huntington in 1919.

Shelton was known for its many factories and businesses. One of its top businesses, the Sponge Rubber Products Plant, has the unfortunate distinction of suffering one of the largest arson fires in US history in 1975. This started the decline of the many factories and businesses of Shelton, many located on Canal Street or along the Housatonic River. One of the large industries that moved from Bridgeport Avenue in Shelton to the town of Stratford is Sikorsky Aircraft. This is one of the first American Aircraft companies to make helicopters for military and civilian use.

Shelton is a very hilly area, being one of the towns located in Connecticut’s valley region. The Housatonic River runs through Shelton, being a large part of Shelton’s identity and history. Shelton also has 15 miles of hiking trails; the area is heavily wooded, making it a potential danger during storms. High winds and inclement weather can loosen branches that threaten property or even people.

Huntington

Huntington used to be a separate town from Shelton. The town of Huntington was named after the town’s first settler in the 18th century named Huntington. Years later, it consolidated with Shelton in 1919. Shelton was named after a 19th century industrialist, Edward N. Shelton, the founder of the Housatonic Water Power Company. About 90 percent of the people in this town say they are from Huntington. The other 10 percent claim they are from Shelton. The name issue was something the town inflicted on itself over the years.
