Fact text
- Danbury is nicknamed 'Hat City' because it was once the entire center of America's hat-making industry in the 1800s and early 1900s.
- A mineral discovered in Danbury is literally named 'danburite' after the city, not every town gets its own element on the minerals list.
- The Danbury Fair ran for 160 years before the fairgrounds were paved over to build a mall, the Danbury Fair Mall, cheekily keeping the name alive.
- Candlewood Lake, Connecticut's largest lake, was entirely man-made in 1928 as a hydroelectric power facility, so the state's biggest lake is basically a giant battery.
