Greenfield Hill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greenfield Hill is a neighborhood of Fairfield, Connecticut. Located in the northern part of the town, it extends from just south of the Merritt Parkway to the town's boundary with Easton, to the north.

Along with Southport, Greenfield Hill is one of two notably affluent neighborhoods in Fairfield. Thanks in large part to the efforts of the Greenfield Hill Village Improvement Society [1], zoning is residential and lots are two acres or larger.

Locally, Greenfield Hill is known for its Dogwood Festival, which celebrates a variety of tree that abounds in the neighborhood. The most famous and perhaps the most picturesque landmark is the Greenfield Hill Congregational Church [2], which presides over a classic New England green. Timothy Dwight IV, best known as a president of Yale University (and the namesake of one of its residential colleges) was pastor of Greenfield Hill Congregational Church for many years. According to local lore, he was hired by Yale to thwart plans for a rival educational institution in Fairfield.

Besides Dwight, famous residents of Greenfield Hill have included Robert Penn Warren, the author of "All the King's Men," and Leonard Bernstein.
