Danbury was once the hat-making capital of the United States, earning the nickname Hat City, and it remains a regional business center for northern Fairfield County. Today the city and its neighbors host corporate offices, healthcare, retail and manufacturing companies, and Western Connecticut State University anchors its downtown. Just to the north lies Candlewood Lake, the largest lake in Connecticut, whose shores are lined with weekend and summer homes.

The drive from Manhattan to Danbury takes about an hour and a half in light traffic but can stretch much longer on I-84 or the Saw Mill and Hutchinson parkways. Danbury Municipal Airport sits just two miles from downtown, so flying private works well for executives with offices in the area and for second-home owners heading to the lake, Ridgefield or the Litchfield Hills. Visitors come for boating on Candlewood Lake, the historic main street of Ridgefield, wineries and farm stands and fall foliage drives toward Kent and New Milford.
