This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Joseph A. Spadaro (talk | contribs) at 05:22, 15 July 2017. The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of towns in Connecticut. The U.S. state of Connecticut is divided into 169 towns. The towns are grouped into eight counties.

Towns traditionally have a town meeting form of government; under the Home Rule Act, however, towns are free to choose their own government structure. Nineteen of the towns in Connecticut are consolidated city-towns and one (Naugatuck) is a consolidated borough-town.
