About Waterbury
Waterbury is a city in New Haven County, Connecticut, 33 miles (53 km)
southwest of Hartford on the Naugatuck River. As of 2005 Census Bureau
estimates, the city had a total population of 107,902 and was the fifth-largest
city in Connecticut.
In the past, Waterbury had large industrial interests, and was the leading
center of the United States for the manufacture of brassware (including castings
and finishings). It was noted for the manufacture of watches and clocks.
Waterbury's nickname is the Brass City. Indeed, the city's motto is Quid Aere
Perennius, which means "What Is More Lasting Than Brass."
The city is on Interstate 84 and is the hometown of former Connecticut Governor
John G. Rowland who spent a year in jail for ethical violations stemming from
corruption. The city has a Metro North railroad station and is home to Post
University and a regional campus of the University of Connecticut.
