Easton is a town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 7,272 at the 2000 census. Easton is among the most affluent communities on the eastern seaboard. The town is a rural community situated among Redding, Monroe, Trumbull, Fairfield, Weston and Newtown. Most residents' children attend Samuel Staples Elementary School, Helen Keller Middle School, or Joel Barlow High School. Easton was first settled in 1757 by men from Fairfield. In 1762 a congregation called the North Fairfield Society was established, and it gradually evolved into Easton. In 1787 Weston, then including lands now defined as Easton, was incorporated from Fairfield. The area was slow to develop because of the rough hills along the Aspetuck River, and so it was not until 1845 that Easton was incorporated from Weston. Today, while close to the New York metropolitan area, Easton remains a quiet and even rural residential town. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
