The Old Greenwich baby bodysuit, for the town that is where Greenwich began in 1640. Soft fine jersey with the Old Greenwich vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the Old Greenwich piece most often bought for someone else.

Light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey keeps this unisex infant bodysuit soft and breathable. Side seams and ribbed binding add durability, and the snap crotch is secure and quick for changes. Solid colors are 100% combed ringspun cotton, while heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

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 remarkable line in the founding record is Elizabeth's. The surviving purchase notes her own "particular purchase" of the peninsula — not her husband's, hers — at a time when a married woman holding land in her own name startled her neighbors. The maps did not mind: for over a hundred years the point appeared in colonial records as Elizabeth's Neck. Her early village sat on a contested edge of the map, too — for a time in the 1640s this coast lay under Dutch New Netherland, the working border between New Amsterdam's world and New England's, before Connecticut's side of the line prevailed. Elizabeth herself eventually moved on, but her Neck stayed in village hands: the Ferris family held it for more than a hundred and fifty years.

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.
