Re: Your Hometown
Watertown, CT (includes Oakville, southern section of Watertown)
Located in Northwestern, CT. Part of Litchfield County. Originally part of Waterbury but "spun off" in 1800's Population about 25,000 last I know of (has grown dramatically last 15 years because of many subdivisions built) Taft School located here, containing students from around the world (Mary Chapin' Carpenter graduated from here) We have MANY car dealerships here, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Volvo, Mitsubishi, BMW, Saturn, Volkswagon, Lotus, Pontiac, Subaru, Isuzu, Jeep, Buick, Nissan We also have two salvage yards Several farms still active, many became presaid subdivisions though, one of which where I live (I don't have a septic tank but my grass still grows very well )As of this week we now have 3 Dunkin' Donuts Watertown had a thriving manufacturing industry at the turn of the century and there are still many companies located here and we have one industrial park We used to have a microbrewry here, "Hammer and Nails" We used to also have a drive in but it's been closed for about 20 years now. We have a state park, Black Rock (less than 5 minutes from where I am) We have a mall, the Brass Mill Center located 10 minutes from here We are minutes from the junction of two major highways, Rt 84 and Rt 8. Rt 8 actually goes through part of Watertown Main part of Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, "Grace and Glory" filmed here (I bought some of the props afterward and still have them, movie also filmed in Litchfield and Goshen) Team 38, Nonnebots, who helped 237 get going are the next town over from us in Woodbury located to our West. Two teams we helped get going, 716 Who's Cteks and 1784 Litchbots are also in Litchfield county located North and Northwest of us, respectively. When I think of more I'll add to this unless Elgin or the Shaws beat me to it. ![]() |
