A thriving community for most of its history with stagecoach stops, railroads, taverns, hotels, mills and farms, Brookfield today is one of the fastest growing communities in the Greater Danbury/ New Milford area. Notwithstanding its progressive development in recent years, the town has remarkably managed to maintain its small-town friendliness and rural character. Much of Brookfield's quality of life is attributable to the varying styles of homes, convenience, and abundance of shopping facilities, along with its wealth of natural resources, particularly Candlewood Lake.
