About 1,850 British troops under General William Tryon landed at Compo Beach on April 25, 1777, to raid Danbury; returning militia fought them at the Battle of Compo Hill, and more than one hundred Continentals fell in the raid's engagements.

Then came the onions. From the 1840s to about 1890 Westport was the leading onion-growing center in the country — the fields ran down to the water, and the Southport Globe varieties bred on these hills commanded top prices in New York. Market boats left weekly with a deck full of barrels and came home with a season's fortune; during the Civil War, Army quartermasters bought Westport's pickled onions by the barrel to fight scurvy in the camps. Blight, cutworms, and western competition ended the boom by the 1890s, and one by one the onion fields were sold off to New Yorkers for summer places — the first draft of the town Westport would become.

Why People Visit Westport Connecticut

Westport draws people who love the shore, the arts, and a good story. It is a Revolutionary-War landing site with a Minute Man on the beach, a colonial shipping village turned arts colony, and a Long Island Sound shoreline of beaches, river, and marsh. Visitors come for the rare mix — history you can stand on at Compo, theater and music in the summer, and a refined New England coast an easy train ride from New York.
