Stamford is a corporate hub on Long Island Sound with one of the largest clusters of company headquarters in the New York region. Its station is the second-busiest on Metro-North after Grand Central, which makes it a favorite for commuters. Locals also know it for Mill River Park, the Palace Theatre and the giant balloons of the Stamford Downtown Parade Spectacular.
The area was first called Rippowam, and English settlers arrived after a land purchase on July 1, 1640. The railroad opened in 1848 and brought new residents and industry, led by the Yale and Towne Manufacturing Company, which employed nearly 1,000 people by 1892. Since 2008 the Harbor Point redevelopment has turned former industrial land in the South End into a new waterfront neighborhood. Stamford mixes high-rise downtown living, older single-family streets in neighborhoods like Glenbrook and quiet wooded lots north of the Merritt Parkway. Residents include New York commuters, corporate staff and long-time families, with dozens of languages spoken in local homes.
