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.
Today Old Greenwich wears its history quietly but proudly — the original "Old Town" of Greenwich, a shore village of beaches and coves with four centuries of New England behind it. Its story runs from the Siwanoy shore and Elizabeth Feake's 1640 purchase of Elizabeth's Neck, through a colonial farming village and a railroad-era summer resort, to the gracious commuter village it is now. Our Old Greenwich designs gather that identity into wearable form — the oyster-and-1636 emblem, the Point, and the Sound. Old Greenwich, Connecticut: where Greenwich began in 1640, on the shining sands of Tod's Point.
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.
