Hawleyville is an unincorporated community in Fairfield County in the town of Newtown, Connecticut, United States, approximately one mile outside the borough of Newtown. It was listed as a census-designated place prior to the 2020 census.[1]

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.[2] Hawleyville briefly emerged as a railroad center, causing Newtown's population to grow to over 4,000 circa 1881.[3] 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.[4]

Hawleyville gained a sewer system in 2001, which was subsequently expanded upon in 2016. It utilizes the nearby Danbury sewage plant.[5]

Emergency services

The area is served by Hawleyville Volunteer Fire and Rescue.[6]
