Beaverbrook or Beaver Brook, is an unincorporated area in the City of Danbury, Fairfield County, Connecticut.




History



The area is named after the stream, which flows north out of East Swamp in Bethel and connects with the Still River in East Danbury. References to Beaver Brook can be found from as far back as 1743, although many maps identify Beaver Brook as Limekiln Brook or East Swamp Brook.
Upstream, north of the confluence, is Beaver Brook Mountain, which extends from Danbury into Brookfield. The mountain was considered part of Danbury's Beaver Brook district until Brookfield was incorporated from Danbury in 1788. Despite the official incorporation, this particular area would still be recognized as Beaver Brook for years to come. Notably, the White Turkey Inn, which was established 28 years prior to Brookfield's incorporation, would continue to advertise as a Danbury locale.

1790 marks the start of Beaverbrook's industrial timeline, with the construction of the Beaver Brook paper manufacturing mill, which would later become the McArthur paper mill.: 120  Another noteworthy operation in Beaverbrook was the E. Sturdevant wool hat factory, which operated until it was destroyed by fire on August 31, 1873.: 235 
To this day the area is considered a heavily industrial area.

Construction of the "Yankee Expressway" in Danbury divided the neighborhood, isolating the northernmost section of Beaverbrook (now Old Brookfield Rd. and the Danbury portion of Federal Rd. North). The project resulted in hundreds of displaced families.
