South Norwalk is a neighborhood in Norwalk, Connecticut which corresponds to the city's Second Taxing District.[1][2] Often referred to as SoNo,[3][4][5] the neighborhood was originally settled as Old Well, then chartered as the city of South Norwalk on August 18, 1870. The cities of Norwalk and South Norwalk were incorporated on June 6, 1913. South Norwalk underwent major redevelopment during the early 21st century, with many new apartments being constructed,[4] often in close proximity to South Norwalk station,[4][5] and generally more expensive than existing housing.[5]
South Norwalk is a diverse neighborhood both from a socioeconomic and racial perspective.[citation needed]
The neighborhood hosts the annual SoNo Arts Festival, an event that showcases local artists, businesses, and musical acts.[6] The annual Norwalk Oyster Festival, sponsored by the Norwalk Seaport Association, is held at Veteran's Memorial Park, across the Norwalk Harbor in East Norwalk.[7]
