History[edit]
Hawleyville is named after the family of Glover Hawley. This was a condition Hawley included in the sale of land to the Housatonic Railroad Company in the nineteenth century.[1] Hawleyville briefly emerged as a railroad center, causing the town - Newtown's - population to grow to over 4,000 circa 1881.[2] The railroads included the New York and New England Railroad and the Hawleyville Branch of the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad. As of 2018, the Housatonic Railroad Company owns a lumber distribution and bulk transfer facility in Hawleyville.[3]
Hawleyville gained a sewer system in 2001, which was subsequently expanded upon in 2016. It utilizes the nearby Danbury, Connecticut sewage plant.[4]
Emergency services[edit]
The area is served by Hawleyville Volunteer Fire and Rescue.[5]
