Ash Creek (Connecticut)

It is the last salt water estuary in the area, extending from Long Island Sound and up the Rooster River.

Ash Creek has served as Fairfield's main harbor since the founding of the town in 1639.

[2][dubious – discuss] The name Ash Creek was given to the body of water after Fairfield Center was burned to the ground by the British during the Revolutionary War.

The Arthur Gruhn Memorial Cable Crossing plaque was erected on Connecticut Route 130 at the Bridgeport-Fairfield town line on March 24, 2009.
