The lovely and picturesque town of Cheshire was originally
incorporated as a rural farming community in 1780. Today, Cheshire is home to
just over 29,000 residents, who enjoy a more relaxed life with their family.
This town is family oriented; offering an excellent public-school system and
exceptional public safety. Cheshire is nestled between New Haven and Hartford,
making a day trip to either city an ease. However, this small town offers such
quaint shops, restaurants, and parks that you may not want to wander far. You
can go to Drazen Orchards and pick your own fresh, and delicious, fruits and
vegetables. If you don’t feel like cooking after picking your own produce, take
the family to one of the locally recognized restaurants, and let them serve you
a delicious meal. The downtown area offers several small shops and eating
options, so you can spend a more laid-back day there with your family and
friends. The residents are known to be friendly and welcoming, so if you are
new to this rustic town, fear not, you will be a true part of the community in
no time!
