Rowayton is a charming New England Village nestled on the Five Mile River and Long Island Sound. It is one of the most unique, historic and visually stunning places in Connecticut. Purchased from the Siwanoy Indians about 1651, Rowayton became known as a major oystering center. During the early 20th century steamboats brought visitors to Rowayton and today it is the address of choice for those seeking a coastal community rich in history and character.
