No one seems To know just why Danbury. Conn,
was uicknamed 'BeantoWn." OF course, the name
could not have come into being without some rea-
SON. SO there are several conjectures regarding its
origin. Oie OF these is that the eight families
who tramped over the rough way from Norwalk in
1854 and planted themselves on the plains between
the ridges-Town Hin and Deer Hil-kno~n
10 the Indians PahquiOque, recalled the love of
the Indians for succotash and tempted them to
sell their inheritance for peck of beans. II is
said also that the name given because OF the
large quantities Of beans raised in the town cen

adapted 10 them and they grew with iuXuriance
