Welcome to the Town of Brooklyn, located in northeastern Connecticut, the "Quiet Corner" of the state. Settled in the 1600s and incorporated in 1786, Brooklyn is a quintessential small New England town. Although we are one of the fastest growing communities in Windham County, much of our rural and colonial character has been preserved. Route 169 which runs through historic Brooklyn center is designated a Connecticut State Scenic Road and a National Scenic Byway. A drive on this road reveals the town character with views of orchards, fields, woods and colonial homes. Brooklyn is fortunate to have several active farms that add immeasurably to the aesthetic beauty and rural landscape. The Agricultural Association still operates our biggest annual event, the Brooklyn Fair which is the oldest continuously operating agricultural fair in the country. In spite of the rural look of our town, Brooklyn also has a modern day commerce center. Located on Route 6, close to Interstate Highway 395, this area offers shopping and a variety of eating establishments.

Brooklyn is a town in Windham County, Connecticut, United States. It contains the census district of East Brooklyn. The population was 7,173 at the 2000 census. Settled in the 1600s and incorporated as its own town in 1786, Brooklyn is now one of the fastest growing towns in Windham County. It is home to the Brooklyn Fair, America's oldest continuously operating agricultural fair, as well as the Brooklyn Correctional Institution, a state-run medium security prison. Brooklyn is the final resting place of Revolutionary War General Israel Putnam. Though he was orginally buried in an above ground tomb in Brooklyn's South Cemetery, his remains had to be moved due to excessive visitors. In 1888, a statue of Putnam mounted on a horse was erected, and his sarcophogas placed in the foundation. The statue stands in the town green, in front of the town's post office.
