Archaeological finds show people living in the Westport area 7,500 years ago, and the first white settlers recorded Native people living on the land they called Machamux, which the colonists translated as "beautiful land." Colonial settlement began in 1693 with the five Bankside Farmers, who had followed their cattle to the isolated area. With its own ecclesiastical society, the community grew largely independent of Fairfield. It was briefly called Bankside, was officially named Green's Farms in 1732 for the Bankside farmer John Green and became the Town of Westport in 1835.
On April 25, 1777, a British force of 1,850 under Major General William Tryon, royal governor of New York, landed at Compo Beach to destroy the Continental Army's supplies at Danbury. Minutemen from Westport and nearby towns hid as the troops passed and then attacked their rear, an action commemorated by a statue of a crouching Minuteman on Compo Beach and by cannons placed there in 1901. The Town of Westport was incorporated on May 28, 1835, from parts of Fairfield, Weston and Norwalk, after Daniel Nash led 130 residents in petitioning, largely to protect their seaport from neighboring ports. For several decades it was a prosperous farming town and the leading onion-growing center in the United States, shipping onions to market, until blight destroyed the crop and mills and factories took its place. From about 1910 artists, musicians and writers, among them F. Scott Fitzgerald, moved to Westport, the beginning of its reputation as an arts center. Sources Wikipedia: Westport, Connecticut
