Wonderful Wilton!

      Churches, businesses and homes have populated this rich area since the French and Indian War.

     The Town of Wilton, originally named Palmertown, had its first business in the year 1764.   The business was a saw mill on the Snook Kill in the northwest section of Wilton.   Another business developed when Broadstreet Emerson built a tavern in 1790 and then in the late 1800's the Gurn Spring bottling plant distributed mineral water.   During this time of growth, the community was expanding with the South Wilton Church being built in 1854.  Later, in 1871, the Wiltonville Church was built and was then followed by the Gurn Spring Methodist Church being built in 1885.  

         Today, churches, businesses and homes continue to populate Wilton and improve the quality of life in our town.  The combined congregations of the first churches now enjoy the TrinityMethodistChurch on Ballard Road.  Today, those first businesses have brought other industries and businesses that enhance living in Wilton.  Shopping areas, businesses and employment opportunities abound and populate Exit 15 and 16.  Wilton continues to enjoy growth in these areas as well as in the residential housing market.  This growth makes living in Wilton comfortable and desirable.

     The Town of Wilton proudly offers this Business Directory in recognition of all who help make Wilton such a wonderful place to live!  If we have not listed your business, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to list it for you!  

     We hope that you will find the menu to the left helpful.  We will add to the directory as more businesses e-mail their information for publication.
