Re: Go to your city's Wikipedia article; post notable people.
Edward Fitzsimmons Dunne (1853–1937) 31st mayor of Chicago (1905-1907); governor of Illinois (1913-1917) was born in Watertown.
Benjamin B. Hotchkiss (1826–1885), for whom The Hotchkiss School was named by his widow, was one of the leading American ordnance engineers of his day. He made his money by founding a successful munitions company in France after the American Civil War. He was born in Watertown but in early childhood moved to Sharon.
Jonathan Trumbull, Sr. (1710–1785), governor of Connecticut before, during and after the American Revolution (1769-1784) and a friend of George Washington, he was born in Watertown.
We also have The Taft School, a private boarding school. I do know that Mary Chappin-Carpenter graduated from Taft (Class of 1974) along with many other famous people. I wouldn't call them full time residents though since they only boarded here during the school year.
