Brief History of The Town of Wilton

In 1936, Wilton was a small town with a big need. It needed water. The town population of approximately 562 had almost run out of water thanks to an extremely dry summer. During this time, the town of Wilton had no water system. They had to rely on wells, cisterns, and rain barrels. The mayor wrote a letter asking for assistance from the PWA. By the Spring of 1937, the town had their own pump house and a 100,000 gallon storage tank. Everyone in Wilton benefited from this project.

City Focus are typically scheduled the first and third Tuesday of each month from 8:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. and are informal gatherings designed to network with fellow Chamber members, and listen as city officials or a special guest, gives a brief update of developments in that particular area.
