Hawleyville

History

Hawleyville is named after the family of Glover Hawley. This was a condition Hawley included in the sale of land to the Housatonic Railroad Company in the nineteenth century. Hawleyville briefly emerged as a railroad center, causing Newtown's population to grow to over 4,000 circa 1881. The railroads included the New York and New England Railroad and the Hawleyville Branch of the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad. As of 2018, the Housatonic Railroad Company owns a lumber distribution and bulk transfer facility in Hawleyville. Hawleyville gained a sewer system in 2001, which was subsequently expanded upon in 2016. It utilizes the nearby Danbury sewage plant.
