Turnback Tuesday is highlighting the Naugatuck River. The river has a total length of 40.2 miles starting in Torrington and ending in Derby at the Housatonic River.
Our river is never more beautiful than in the spring. Osprey, geese, and eagles are returning to their nests and fishing grounds. Boaters are enjoying the beauty and tranquility of fishing in these waters. The name Naugatuck is derived from an Algonquin term which means “lone tree by fishing place.” It was a great food source.
Today our river is clean and enjoyed by many. Take a stroll along the Derby river walk and you will see. Just a reminder to please be safe while enjoying the river.
Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
