Danbury Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

The seal can provide some information regarding the history and culture of the city. But the seal of the city of Danbury in Connecticut provides more. The seal reflects the thriving business of the city. The seal evokes the aspirations of its people. And the seal suggests the many things to do in this city when travelers plan on having Danbury vacations. Right after Danbury was made an official city by Governor Bulkely in 1889, the seal was drafted with the help of Alderman James Walsh and the committee member Henry Hoyt. On the left side of a seal is a locomotive which symbolized the railroad that was instrumental in bringing in the settlers of the city. The railroad line was created in 1952 and today, the travelers can find out more about this railroad at the Danbury Railway Museum.  The museum showcased the history of Danbury but it is also kid-friendly because there are fun rides and a gift shop. It can also host birthday celebrations. On the right side of the seal are elm trees that symbolize the Elmwood Park. Formerly known as the Danbury Town Green, this park is a place for fun and relaxation where people meet with friends and spend the day walking and watching the fountain. Above the trees of the seal is a derby hat which announces the thriving hat manufacturing business of the city. This industry made Danbury earned the name “Hat City.” But today, hat manufacturing is no longer the major industry of Danbury. It is a city that has an emerging tourism industry with more than a thousand acres dedicated to parks and recreational use.
