Greens Farms is the oldest neighborhood in Westport, Connecticut, and its history runs back through colonial farms to the Pequot, who called this shoreline Machamux. The first English families settled here in 1648, drawn by the fertile meadows and the abundance of shellfish along the Sound. Through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the area thrived as a shoreline farming and milling community, its orchards, cornfields, and salt marshes feeding local families and supplying trade. The name reflected exactly what the settlers found: a beautiful, productive stretch of coast that rewarded the people who tended it.
Today Greens Farms blends suburban shoreline living with deep colonial history. Its neighborhoods sit beside landmarks that recall the 1648 settlement, the 1711 parish, and Connecticut's first state park at Sherwood Island. Our Greens Farms designs gather that layered identity into wearable form — the oyster shell, the salt marsh, the beautiful land of Machamux. Explore the collection and carry forward a symbol of a Connecticut shoreline that has held its name's promise for three and a half centuries.
