Welcome To Westport

Westport’s Vitality is legendary. Through the centuries, Native Americans, Colonial farmers, Revolutionary War soldiers, shipping magnates, creative artists, summer residents, and commuters have all prospered here, where the Saugatuck River meets, Long Island Sound. Today’s Westport is a highly involved, affluent suburban community of about 27,000 people.
 
Artistically and culturally active, it has long been a creative center and celebrity retreat. Waterfront homes and estates abound, both at the beach and along the Saugatuck. The thriving downtown area along the river provides trendy shops and restaurants amid an atmosphere still imbued with New England charm. A bit to the north, the town’s historic district is also convenient for commuting. Westport occupies 22.4 square miles and is governed by an elected Board of Selectmen.
 

Educational and Cultural Facilities

An exceptional school system is the focus of this strong community. Five Elementary Schools, two Middle Schools and a High School have demonstrated the efficacy of Westport’s small class sizes and outstanding programs which produce excellent student test scores. Private schools include the preschool Landmark Academy and Green’s Farms Academy (K-12).
 
An artistic mecca for over a century, Westport’s extremely active cultural life includes professional theater throughout the year at the Westport Country Playhouse. The Levitt Pavilion presents free outdoor performances all summer long including jazz, rock, and classical concerts for adults and every Wednesday evening children’s concerts, such as puppets, magic shows, and musical shows.
