Charming doesn’t begin to describe Fairfield, Connecticut, a 30-square-mile town with five miles of shoreline on the Long Island Sound. Fairfield is a top community in the Northeast, filled with beautiful beaches and marinas, serene parks and open space, and tons of shopping, fine dining, and entertainment — all within 50 miles of New York City. This Town has about 61,740 residents but still manages to preserve a quaint, small-town feeling with diverse neighborhoods, top-notch schools, and amazing opportunities for fun and leisure. The Town of Fairfield operates under a Representative Town Meeting form of government. There are 10 voting districts, with four representatives elected per district. The administration of Town affairs is managed by the three-member Board of Selectmen.
