2021 $0 down, VA home loan limit for Fairfield County is $601,450.
The most southwestern county in Connecticut, Fairfield County, with a population of over 900,000 is also the most densely populated county in the state. The large population can be attributed to the presence of Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwalk, and Danbury, which are all in the top ten largest cities in the state. Bridgeport has the greatest population in Connecticut. The metropolitan area of the county is the 57th largest in the country. Similar to the other seven counties in the state, no county government exists. In Connecticut counties primarily function as a geographic reference point. As such, no county seat exists. All individual cities and towns in the state are responsible for conducting all local governmental functions.
Human activity has been prominent in the Fairfield County area for hundreds of years. Prior to European exploration, numerous Native tribes occupied the region. These tribes included the Paugusetts, Takiteke, Siwanoy, and the Potaluck. The first Europeans to navigate Fairfield County were the Puritans and Congregationalists from England. Roger Ludlow founded the county in 1639. Ludlow, a military officer, magistrate and lawyer helped settle the county after growing dissatisfied with rules and regulations of Anglican Massachusetts. Connecticut played a primary role in the Revolutionary War as the main agriculture supplier of the Continental Army. Fairfield County was also the site of multiple skirmishes between British forces and colonists, most notably the Battle of Ridgefield and the raids on New Haven and Fairfield.
Today, Fairfield County is known for its high concentration of investment management firms. Bridgewater Associates is one of the largest hedge fund companies in the entire world. In 2005, the county was ranked as having the sixth highest per capita income among residents in the country.
Fairfield County offers residents numerous recreational activities. Three minor league professional sports teams have stadiums in the county. Included are the Danbury Whalers and the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the Federal Hockey League and the Bridgeport Bluefish of the independent Atlantic Baseball League. Additionally, the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk is great fun and is the biggest attraction of the county. New York City is also very close by.
