East Norwalk

East Norwalk is one of the earliest settlements in what is now the City of Norwalk. Until 1913, East Norwalk was a town, and the remnants of that governance exist today in the form of Norwalk’s third taxing district. The third taxing district owns and operates its own electric and water utility.
