Putnam, CT

Putnam is a town in the northeast corner of Connecticut, bounded by the towns of Hamden to the west, New Haven to the south, and Wallingford to the east. The population was 17,811 at the 2010 census. Putnam is home to many affluent residents and has been known for its luxury homes. It is also a popular place to live for people who work in New Haven or Stamford.

The history of Putnam can be traced back to 1636 when it was first settled by Dutch colonists. The town grew slowly until the late 1800s when it began experiencing rapid growth as wealthy people moved into its neighborhoods. This growth continued through the early 2000s, but has slowed since then as more people have moved into nearby towns.

Today, Putnam is home to many luxury homes and estates. Many of these homes were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s by wealthy families who wanted a place where they could escape from city life. Today, these homes are still some of the most expensive in Connecticut and are often used for vacation rentals or long-term rental properties.

One of Putnam's main attractions is its proximity to both New Haven and Stamford. This makes it easy for residents who work in those cities to commute into town each day without having to take any extra time out of their day. Additionally, Putnam is close enough to nature that many residents enjoy hiking or biking trails that run through nearby woods or along streams
