THE HISTORY AND CLIMATE
Like most New England towns, Greenwich, settled in 1640, pre-dates the American Revolution. For centuries, it was a vital farm community that only came to the forefront when notable families like the Rockefellers and Gimbel discovered its peaceful beauty in summer months. Cos Cob is also an important connection to Impressionist Art in America during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Since it occupies the southernmost tip of New England, the entire region guarantees the best of all seasons. In autumn, the turning of the leaves is a natural wonder. In winter, expect snowy days primed for cross-country skiing and sledding parties. Summertime gets warm enough to enjoy a frequent dip in a pool or Long Island Sound.
