Seymour

Town in southwestern Connecticut, on the Naugatuck River, 16 km/10 mi northwest of New Haven; population (1990) 14,300. In 1802 David Humphreys of Derby brought the first (Spanish) merino sheep to North America, and started a woollen mill here; in 1880, the first mohair plush in the USA was made.

Other industries have included the manufacture of brass, wire, cables, and paper. Since the 1970s the brass industry has virtually disappeared.
