The Old Greenwich women’s fitted tee, for the town that is where Greenwich began in 1640. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the Old Greenwich vintage retro logo on the chest in black, cut for anyone who finds the unisex tee boxy.

The fitted cut is the reason to choose this one over the unisex tee: a longer body, side seams and a slimmer line that still wears soft. It is the Old Greenwich shirt for the weekend, the reunion and the beach-bag, and it runs small, so size up if you are between sizes.

Soft, lightweight ringspun cotton jersey in a slim, contoured women’s fit with a longer body length and a classic crewneck. Side-seamed, with a tear-away label. This style runs smaller than usual, so consider sizing up. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather/blend shades may include a cotton–polyester mix.

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.

Why was Old Greenwich once called Sound Beach? Because for fifty-nine years, it was. When the railroad put a station here in 1872, the village took the name of its shoreline and became "Sound Beach" — a summer-resort brand for a summer-resort age. It kept the name until 1931, when the village asked for its history back and was rechristened Old Greenwich, a plain statement of fact: this was the oldest part of the town, the founding ground everything else grew from. Three names in three centuries — the Old Town, Sound Beach, Old Greenwich — and all three describe the same few streets between the brooks and the Sound.

Old Greenwich is the original Greenwich. In July 1640, Robert Feake, Captain Daniel Patrick, and Elizabeth Fones Feake came ashore and purchased the land between the Asamuck and Tatomuck brooks from the Siwanoy people who lived along this shore — the founding transaction of the town, made here, on this beach-village ground. The settlers laid out farms and a landing on the sheltered coves, and around 1645 the Feake-Ferris House rose beside Greenwich Cove at the gateway to the point. Believed the oldest house in town and among the oldest in Connecticut, it has been carefully restored in recent years — and it is still standing, on the way to the beach, nearly four centuries on.

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.
