Ring's End Landing, the original settlement and shipping port for early residents includes a historic stone bridge providing easier access to Long Neck, essential after the creation of the New Haven Railroad. The bridge crosses a dam dividing Gorham's Pond from the Gut. The center of town faced Gorham's Pond. The first mill, called Scofield's, was built in 1708. Another mill was built for the Clock family and eventually taken over by Gorham in 1740. Gradually the center of the town moved up Ring's End Road away from the water to the main highway, Route One, and eventually further east with the 1848 opening of the New Haven Railroad station, then known as "Darien Depot". But trading by water continued until World War I. The mill remained on Gorham's Pond for many years after it ceased to grind flour. In 1921, the town decided to test its new fire engine, which the manufacturer claimed was guaranteed to extinguish any blaze if reached quickly. The townsmen set the mill afire, confident that the damage would be minor with their new, powerful fire engine standing by. Something went wrong, because the landmark of Darien burned to the ground. That was the end of the Ring's End Landing that had been a small, but vital hub for over two hundred years.

Local Area Info: Darien, Connecticut

Darien is a town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States, 37 miles northeast of New York City. With a population of 20,732 for the 2010 census and a land area of just under 13 square miles, it is the smallest town on Connecticut's Coast". Darien is one of the wealthiest communities in the U.S.; it was listed at #2 on CNN Money's list of "top-earning towns" in the United States as of 2010[update]. In 2018, data from the American Community Survey revealed that Darien was the wealthiest municipality in the United States, with a median household income of $208,125. Bloomberg's 2019 "America's 100 Richest Places" ranking placed Darien in the top 10, with an average household income of $341,090.

Situated on Long Island Sound between the cities of Stamford and Norwalk, the town is a bedroom community with relatively few office buildings. Many residents commute to Manhattan with two Metro-North railroad stations – Noroton Heights and Darien – linking the town to Grand Central Terminal. For recreation, the town boasts eleven parks, two public beaches, three country clubs including the first organized golf club in Connecticut, a hunt club, and Noroton Yacht Club.

According to early records, the first clearings of land came from the New Haven and Wethersfield colonies in about 1641. It was not until 1739, however, that the Middlesex Society of the Town of Stamford built the first community church, now the First Congregational Church of Darien (which stands on the original site at the corner of Brookside Road and the Boston Post Road).

Another mill was built for the Clock family and eventually taken over by Gorham in 1740. Gradually the center of the town moved up Ring's End Road away from the water to the main highway, Route One, and eventually further east with the 1848 opening of the New Haven Railroad station, then known as "Darien Depot". But trading by water continued until World War I. The mill remained on Gorham's Pond for many years after it ceased to grind flour. In 1921, the town decided to test its new fire engine, which the manufacturer claimed was guaranteed to extinguish any blaze if reached quickly. The townsmen set the mill afire, confident that the damage would be minor with their new, powerful fire engine standing by. Something went wrong, because the landmark of Darien burned to the ground. That was the end of the Ring's End Landing that had been a small, but vital hub for over two hundred years.
