Hawleyville is an unincorporated community in Fairfield County in the town of Newtown, Connecticut, about 1 mile outside the borough of Newtown. It was listed as a census-designated place prior to the 2020 census.[1]
History[edit]
Hawleyville is named after the family of Glover Hawley.

As of 2018, the Housatonic Railroad Company owns a lumber distribution and bulk transfer facility in Hawleyville.[4]
Hawleyville gained a sewer system in 2001, which was subsequently expanded upon in 2016. It utilizes the nearby Danbury, Connecticut, sewage plant.[5]
Emergency services[edit]
The area is served by Hawleyville Volunteer Fire and Rescue.[6]
