New Milford is a town in Litchfield County, Connecticut, United States. The town, part of the Greater Danbury metropolitan region, lies in western Connecticut, 14 miles (23 km) north of Danbury, on the banks of the Housatonic River, and it shares its border with the northeastern shore of Candlewood Lake.


It is the largest town in the state of Connecticut in terms of land area at nearly 63.7 mi² (164.9822 km²). The population was 28,115 according to the 2020 census. The town center is listed as a census-designated place (CDP). The northern portion of the town is part of the region of northwestern Connecticut, and the far eastern portions are part of the Litchfield Hills region. New Milford is located roughly 50 miles (80 km) west of Hartford; 65 miles (105 km) southwest of Springfield, Massachusetts; 85 miles (137 km) southeast of Albany, New York; and 63 miles (101 km) northeast of New York City.


Within the confines of Litchfield County, New Milford is directly bordered (in clockwise listing) by the towns of Kent to the north, New Preston to the north-northeast, Washington (northeast) and Roxbury (southeast) to the east, and Bridgewater to the south-southeast; it is bordered by Fairfield County to the immediate south and west—specifically the Fairfield County towns of Brookfield to the south, New Fairfield to the southwest, and Sherman to the west. New Milford consists of a number of town sub-divisions (i.e.


districts, communities, or neigborhoods), including Gaylordsville, Merryall, and Northville. The town's infrastructure largely branches off of either side of the highway routes US 7 and US 202, which meet and split within the town and together form its main thoroughfare. The area constituting contemporary New Milford was originally inhabited by the indigenous Wawyachtonoc people, while the town of New Milford itself was formally established by English colonists in the early 18th century. During the American Revolution, a number of men from New Milford fought as soldiers in the American Revolutionary War. During the early- to mid-19th century, New Milford was home to several locations that were part of the Underground Railroad network. From the late 19th century until roughly the middle of the 20th century, the town saw significant growth in industry. Since the beginning of the 21st century, New Milford has witnessed a relatively large growth in population, and remains a common destination for visitors from both the state of Connecticut and out of state, largely owing to its popular downtown and large town green.


The town is also frequented on weekends between the months of April and December, when visitors attend the Elephant's Trunk Flea Market, a large outdoor flea market which WRKI has claimed to be the largest weekly flea market in New England.
