Northwestern Connecticut

10.20.07




A scene from the town of Salisbury in Northwestern Connecticut. Northwestern Connecticut is known for its distinct and traditional New England scenery, which can stand in contrast to the rest of Connecticut, which is largely urbanized or suburbanized.

Most of the region comprises forested hills and rocky peaks, with farmland and small towns interspersed in the valleys and plains. This region also plays host to a large portion of the state's small vineyard and wine industry.
