Bozrah is #13; Mashantucket #170: Towns by the Numbers
/Every town in Connecticut has a tax code number, issued by the state and used in a variety of official reports across state agencies. How are the numbers determined? The towns are listed alphabetically, and given their appropriate number, in order. Which means that:
- Bozrah is lucky #13
- Andover is #1
- Woodstock is #169
- Middletown may be at the state’s center geographically, but Monroe is half-way down the list at #85
- Towns that begin with “New” start with New Britain at #89 and run through Newtown at #97
- The first double digit town is Bethlehem at #10; the first triple digit town is North Canaan at #100
- The final locale on the list hasn’t been considered a town through the years: at #170 in a state with 169 towns is “Mashantucket”
