Welcome to Berlin in
Hartford County,
Connecticut. Although known
as “Home of the Redcoats” &
“The Heart of Connecticut,”
Berlin is most famous for
its brickyards and
manufacturing the country’s
first tinware from a shop on
what was then the
Hartford-New Haven path, now
known as Lower Lane.
Whether you’re a current
business or resident of
Berlin or a newcomer to our
community, you will find our
town ready to make you feel
at home. Berlin’s Economic
Development Commision offers
incentive programs to
businesses, designed to
assist while building or
expanding. This community
boasts growth with a
wonderful blend of old and
new. It is a town where
gracious living comes
together with country charm
in this agriculturally rich
yet progressive community.
If you’re considering Berlin
as a home for your business,
you’re off to a good start.
Being in the center of the
state provides a convenience
for our business community;
easy to find and easy to
reach with major interstate
highways at our back door.
Berlin’s stretch of Routes 5
& 15. Formerly known as the
Wilbur Cross Highway, it is
now officially the Berlin
Turnpike as in its
neighboring towns to the
north.
Town services are abundant.
They include an excellent
public school system,
quality private schools,
three libraries, four
volunteer fire departments,
three post offices, police
department, senior housing
and activity center, public
health nursing service, five
town owned parks on over 600
acres, three public swimming
pools, two golf courses,
historical museum,
“pick-your-own” orchards and
so much more.
Whether you are single, a
new family or a retiree,
Berlin has a diverse variety
of housing options to fit
your needs.
We invite you to become a
part of this growing area.
We take pride in our ability
to expand and make a place
for new people and
businesses while preserving
open space and farms in a
rural setting throughout the
27 square miles which
includes Berlin, Kensington
and East Berlin.
We are proud to introduce
you to our community and
hope you will choose Berlin
as your relocation
destination.
Sincerely, Katherine A.
Fuechsel, Executive Director
