The original settlement of Waterbury dates back to 1674 and the city’s name is referenced to its proximity to the Naugatuck River and its many tributaries which flow through the heart of the city.

The City of Waterbury is filled with great tradition and history. Starting with the beautiful clock tower which is a replica of Torre del Mangia at the Palazzo Publico in Sienna, Italy. Henry Bacon, the famed architect who designed the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., was the same architect who designed the original building of Waterbury Hospital.
