The Stamford tank, for the town that was Rippowam on the Sound. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Stamford vintage retro logo on the chest in white, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Stamford piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

Unisex jersey tank made from lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton with a retail fit. Side-seam construction and self-fabric binding help it hold shape, with a tear-away label, and it runs true to size for adults. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

The Siwanoy called this harbor Rippowam. The land deed was signed on July 1, 1640, about twenty-eight Puritan families from Wethersfield settled it in 1641, and it was renamed Stamford on April 6, 1642, for a town in Lincolnshire. The Boston Post Road came through in 1673, and in 1692 the town tried three of its own women as witches and hanged none.

Steamboats ran to New York from 1825 and the railroad followed in the 1840s; the Stamford Advocate of 1829 is the city’s oldest continuous business. The 1882 Stamford Harbor Light stands on Chatham Rock, the fish-shaped First Presbyterian Church is a mid-century landmark, and Shippan Point reaches into the Sound. Connecticut’s second-largest city is the mark on this piece.

More From Stamford Connecticut

All Stamford Connecticut Items

Stamford Harbor Ledge Light, a 60-foot cast-iron sparkplug tower on Chatham Rock, was built in 1882, automated in 1953, and sold into private hands in 1955.

Who were the Stamford witches? Elizabeth Clawson and Mercy Disborough, two neighbors accused in 1692 after a servant girl’s fits; Stamford tried them, and hanged no one. That spring, while Salem was filling its jail, a seventeen-year-old servant named Katherine Branch began to convulse in the house of Daniel Wescot and to name the women who tormented her. One was Goodwife Clawson of Stamford, a woman who had quarreled with the Wescots for years. The other was Mercy Disborough from Compo, down the Sound. Both were jailed, searched for witch-marks and bound and lowered into the water to see whether they floated. Then Stamford did something Salem never managed: seventy-six of Clawson’s neighbors signed a petition swearing she was no witch. The court at Fairfield heard the case in September and acquitted her in October. Disborough was convicted, and reprieved. The witches went away. The need didn’t.

Why People Visit Stamford, CT

Stamford balances harbor and city — sailboats on the Sound, a downtown skyline, and four centuries of history from Rippowam to the rail line. It is a Gold Coast harbor town an hour from Manhattan, with the water, the parks, and that one-of-a-kind church on the hill. Increasingly it is also a town with a story to tell: the one that was asked to hang its witches in 1692 and signed a petition instead.
