The Old Greenwich cap, for the town that is where Greenwich began in 1640. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Old Greenwich vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Old Greenwich piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

This unisex dad cap is made from breathable cotton in a low-profile, unstructured 6-panel shape with a Permacurv visor. A self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle adjusts the fit, and a matching undervisor and four-row visor stitching add durability. The embroidered finish is classic and vintage-inspired. All colors 100% cotton; camo is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Because embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process — see our Embroidery footer for full details.

Greenwich began here in 1640, on land bought from the Siwanoy; the settlement was called Old Town for two centuries. That same year Elizabeth Fones Feake bought the peninsula the Siwanoy called Monakewego, the shining sands, in her own name, one of the earliest instances of a woman holding title to land in the New World. The Feake-Ferris House of about 1645 still stands.

The railroad stop renamed the village Sound Beach in 1872, J. Kennedy Tod built his stone estate on the point in the 1880s, Binney Park was given in 1928, and the name Old Greenwich arrived in 1931. Tod’s Point, with its tidal ponds and holly grove, is the town’s largest beach. The mark on this piece is the shining sands.

The railroad-era resort years gave the village its Victorian layer. Through the late nineteenth century the shore filled with summer hotels and seaside cottages, and city families discovered the coves and the sand. The handsome depot of about 1894 — now on the National Register — dates from those years, the tie that bound this quiet corner of the Sound to Manhattan forty-some miles down the line, and the reason the village center grew up along Sound Beach Avenue between the station and the water.

Two gifts shaped the village that visitors know today. In the 1880s the banker J. Kennedy Tod built his "Innis Arden" estate out on Elizabeth's Neck, with a stone mansion, a boathouse, and gardens along the peninsula; in 1945 the town acquired the property, and the point became Greenwich Point Park — the beloved town beach, with its tidal ponds, walled garden, and holly grove, that everyone simply calls "the Point," or Tod's Point. Inland, the pond and lawns of Binney Park were given to the village in 1928 by Edwin Binney, the co-inventor of the Crayola crayon, who summered nearby — the village's second great green space, known for its model-sailboat races and fall color.

Why People Visit Old Greenwich

Old Greenwich offers the Connecticut Gold Coast at its most low-key — a real shore village with a beach peninsula, a pond park, and a handful of streets of shops, plus the quiet distinction of being where Greenwich began. Visitors come for Tod's Point and the Sound, the founding history, and the unhurried village pace, and stay for the beaches, the coves, and the deep-rooted New England feel. It is refined, historic, and genuinely Connecticut.
