Connecticut is known for being a small state: only Delaware and Rhode Island are smaller. We’ve also got an abundance of small towns. We’ve written about some great small towns in Connecticut that make for excellent day trips before. But we’ve got so many great villages and census-designated places that are even tinier! Read on to learn about some super tiny towns in Connecticut that have less than 1,000 residents.
