By 1831 Mill River, a small hamlet, had changed its name to Southport and became a thriving commercial area with warehouses, churches, schools, stores and elegant houses. Southport became a leading coastal port on Long Island Sound and throughout the 1800’s has the only two banks in town. Today, still a part of Fairfield, much of the old village is part of the historic district, where buildings from three generations are protected for future generations. Southport is located just 50 miles northeast of New York City and 25 miles southwest of New Haven. Train rides to New York City take about 70 minutes from the Fairfield and Southport stations.
