| There is an interesting distinction that should be made here. This distinction involves inland water, which counts toward the area of a city, and offshore water, which does not count toward the area. Using this distinction, the largest city/town by area in Connecticut is New Milford, which is 63.7 square miles in total area and 61.6 square miles in land area, however the water in New Milford is inland water so it counts toward the area. Greenwich is only 47.8 square miles not counting the offshore water which no one considers to be part of Greenwich. Also, everyone in Connecticut considers New Milford to be the largest town in the state. Moral of the story: New Milford, with 63.7 square miles of area, should be the answer for Connecticut. |
