City in Fairfield County, southwest Connecticut, 30 km/19 mi northwest of Bridgeport; population (1992) 65,300. It is situated in an agricultural region; industries include electronics, industrial robots, publishing, chemicals, and furniture. Since the late 1970s, Danbury has become the headquarters of several major US corporations, including Union Carbide. It is home to Western Connecticut State University (1903).
