Norwalk, CT Colleges and Universities: Career Education and Training

Published: November, 2010

Norwalk, Connecticut is located in the southwest corner of the state, on the Norwalk Harbor leading to the Long Island Sound. The city was established in 1640 and has an estimated 2005 population of 84,437.

Historically, Norwalk's industries have included farming, shipping, manufacturing, and oyster harvesting. While the harbor continues to supply economic benefits to the community, Norwalk is home to several corporate headquarters and smaller businesses. The top five employers of 2006 were Norwalk Health Services, Stew Leonard's, MBI, Diageo, and the Hewitt Association. The estimated per capita income in 2005 was $35,051, which was above the national average. The strongest business sectors are services, trade, and construction.

Norwalk's proximity to water makes life interesting for both residents and visitors. The Maritime Aquarium educates the community about local marine wildlife such as harbor seals, river otters, sharks, and jellyfish. The Sheffield Island Lighthouse is a link to the region's coastal history, and the annual Norwalk Oyster Festival and Norwalk Harbor Splash are community events celebrating the city's nautical and arts environment. Other cultural features include the Norwalk Symphony Orchestra, the Norwalk Youth Symphony, and the Mill Hill Historic Park.
