This Town offers a rich mixture of cultural, recreational, educational and business opportunities, as well as a unique glimpse of the sea's influence on American life. Early settlers and later immigrants to our land found a hospitable environment in which to prosper. That charm, ambience and quality of life makes Stonington a good place to live, work, and visit.
The Town of Stonington is situated in the southeastern corner of Connecticut, bordering Westerly, Rhode Island to the east, Long Island Sound to the south, Groton, Ledyard, and North Stonington to the west and north. Stonington is the only Connecticut town facing the Atlantic Ocean. Fishers Island and Long Island, New York, can be seen to the southwest and Block Island, Rhode Island to the southeast.
