Branford is a vital community with a strong economic base, low taxes, and excellent schools and municipal services. One of the greatest assets of our town is the spirit of volunteerism and civic involvement-citizens working together to make Branford an active and caring community in which to live.

The economic strength of Branford is reflected in the diversity of companies found here. This includes an established manufacturing presence, a growing biotech community, medical research firms and innumerable small, independent, retail and service businesses.

With 20 miles of coastline on Long Island Sound and more than 3,900 acres of open and/or undeveloped space, Branford is home to a great diversity of scenery and habitats. There are endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, from hiking and cycling, to kayaking the scenic Branford River.
