The first European settlers arrived in the area around April 1638, creating the towns of [[Milford, Connecticut\|Milford]] and New Haven, with their boundary split down the middle of what is now Bethany. The area of the boundary was settled in 1678, twelve years after New Haven County was organized. In 1717, the Amity Parish was accepted by the General Assembly of the Connecticut Colony and in 1832, Bethany was incorporated as a town.<ref name="Town of Bethany, Connecticut"/> The town is named after the [[Bethany\|biblical place]].<ref name="ePodunk"/> In the mid-to-late 19th century, the population of the town and the land decreased as parts were annexed by the neighboring town of [[Woodbridge, Connecticut\|Woodbridge]] and the new town of [[Beacon Falls, Connecticut\|Beacon Falls]] was incorporated into the general geography of Connecticut. The population would continue to decrease until about the 1940s, when the population would spike. In 1923, the Bethany Airport opened up, one of the first in New England. Soon after, Troop I of the [[Boy Scouts of America]] (now known as Troop 931) was chartered in Bethany, and an organized police staff and volunteer fire fighter organization were founded. In 1954, a senior high school was built in Woodbridge to serve Woodbridge, Bethany, and Orange. Earlier Bethany students had been sent to public high schools in neighboring towns as tuition students for grades nine through twelve. In 1963, Amity Junior High School was created in Bethany. In 2007, Bethany was named Connecticut's #1 Small Town by ''[[Connecticut Magazine]]''.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=http://www.bethanyhistory.org/timeline.html\|title=Timeline\|website=Bethanyhistory\|access-date=2017-01-18}}</ref> ===Town seal=== Bethany's town seal is a circle within which appears a circle of rope. In the upper aspects of the seal appear the words TOWN OF BETHANY CONNECTICUT in two curved lines of print bordering the inner aspect of the rope circle. On the bottom of the seal also bordering the inner aspect of the rope circle appear the words INCORPORATED 1832. These words form the top and bottom edges of a third circle, the sides of which are made of a string of inverted oak leaves on each side. A roadway bisecting the seal and extending from bottom to center is pictured within the innermost circle. Surrounded by trees are Christ Episcopal Church pictured on the right, and First Church of Christ Congregational with carriage shed on the left. The Town Seal was created by local artist and Bethany resident, Betsy Seaton, as part of Bethany's 150th anniversary celebration in 1982. === Police === Currently, Bethany has a single police officer who is hired by the town. This along with the State Police Troop I station serve to protect the town and local area. The barracks located next to the Station remains abandoned and in a state of disrepair. ==Geography== According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the town has a total area of {{convert\|21.4\|sqmi\|km2}}, of which {{convert\|21.0\|sqmi\|km2}} is land and {{convert\|0.4\|sqmi\|km2}}, or 1.83%, is water. ==Demographics== {{US Census population \|1850= 914 \|1860= 974 \|1870= 1135 \|1880= 637 \|1890= 550 \|1900= 517 \|1910= 495 \|1920= 411 \|1930= 480 \|1940= 706 \|1950= 1318 \|1960= 2384 \|1970= 3857 \|1980= 4330 \|1990= 4608 \|2000= 5040 \|2010= 5563 \|estyear=2017 \|estimate=5497 \|estref=<ref name="USCensusEst2017">{{cite web\|url=https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/Departments-and-Agencies/DPH/Population/Town-Pop/pop_towns2017pdf.pdf?la=en\|title=Estimated Populations in Connecticut as of July 1, 2017\|access-date=February 20, 2019}}</ref> \|footnote=U.S. Decennial Census<ref name="DecennialCensus">{{cite web \|url=https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census.html \|title=Census of Population and Housing \|publisher=Census.gov \|access-date=June 4, 2015 }}</ref> }} {{See also\|List of Connecticut locations by per capita income}} As of the 2010 Census Bethany had a population of 5,563.

The first European settlers arrived in the area around April 1638, creating the towns of [[Milford, Connecticut\|Milford]] and New Haven, with their boundary split down the middle of what is now Bethany. The area of the boundary was settled in 1678, twelve years after New Haven County was organized. In 1717, the Amity Parish was accepted by the General Assembly of the Connecticut Colony and in 1832, Bethany was incorporated as a town.<ref name="Town of Bethany, Connecticut"/> The town is named after the [[Bethany\|biblical place]].<ref name="ePodunk"/> In the mid-to-late 19th century, the population of the town and the land decreased as parts were annexed by the neighboring town of [[Woodbridge, Connecticut\|Woodbridge]] and the new town of [[Beacon Falls, Connecticut\|Beacon Falls]] was incorporated into the general geography of Connecticut. The population would continue to decrease until about the 1940s, when the population would spike. In 1923, the Bethany Airport opened up, one of the first in New England. Soon after, Troop I of the [[Boy Scouts of America]] (now known as Troop 931) was chartered in Bethany, and an organized police staff and volunteer fire fighter organization were founded. In 1954, a senior high school was built in Woodbridge to serve Woodbridge, Bethany, and Orange. Earlier Bethany students had been sent to public high schools in neighboring towns as tuition students for grades nine through twelve. In 1963, Amity Junior High School was created in Bethany. In 2007, Bethany was named Connecticut's #1 Small Town by ''[[Connecticut Magazine]]''.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=http://www.bethanyhistory.org/timeline.html\|title=Timeline\|website=Bethanyhistory\|access-date=2017-01-18}}</ref> ===Town seal=== Bethany's town seal is a circle within which appears a circle of rope. In the upper aspects of the seal appear the words TOWN OF BETHANY CONNECTICUT in two curved lines of print bordering the inner aspect of the rope circle. On the bottom of the seal also bordering the inner aspect of the rope circle appear the words INCORPORATED 1832. These words form the top and bottom edges of a third circle, the sides of which are made of a string of inverted oak leaves on each side. A roadway bisecting the seal and extending from bottom to center is pictured within the innermost circle. Surrounded by trees are Christ Episcopal Church pictured on the right, and First Church of Christ Congregational with carriage shed on the left. The Town Seal was created by local artist and Bethany resident, Betsy Seaton, as part of Bethany's 150th anniversary celebration in 1982. === Police === Currently, Bethany has a single police officer who is hired by the town. This along with the State Police Troop I station serve to protect the town and local area. The barracks located next to the Station remains abandoned and in a state of disrepair. ==Geography== According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the town has a total area of {{convert\|21.4\|sqmi\|km2}}, of which {{convert\|21.0\|sqmi\|km2}} is land and {{convert\|0.4\|sqmi\|km2}}, or 1.83%, is water. ==Demographics== {{US Census population \|1850= 914 \|1860= 974 \|1870= 1135 \|1880= 637 \|1890= 550 \|1900= 517 \|1910= 495 \|1920= 411 \|1930= 480 \|1940= 706 \|1950= 1318 \|1960= 2384 \|1970= 3857 \|1980= 4330 \|1990= 4608 \|2000= 5040 \|2010= 5563 \|estyear=2017 \|estimate=5497 \|estref=<ref name="USCensusEst2017">{{cite web\|url=https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/Departments-and-Agencies/DPH/Population/Town-Pop/pop_towns2017pdf.pdf?la=en\|title=Estimated Populations in Connecticut as of July 1, 2017\|access-date=February 20, 2019}}</ref> \|footnote=U.S. Decennial Census<ref name="DecennialCensus">{{cite web \|url=https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census.html \|title=Census of Population and Housing \|publisher=Census.gov \|access-date=June 4, 2015 }}</ref> }} {{See also\|List of Connecticut locations by per capita income}} As of the 2010 Census Bethany had a population of 5,563.

The first European settlers arrived in the area around April 1638, creating the towns of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Milford,_Connecticut" title="Milford, Connecticut">Milford</a> and New Haven, with their boundary split down the middle of what is now Bethany. The area of the boundary was settled in 1678, twelve years after New Haven County was organized. In 1717, the Amity Parish was accepted by the General Assembly of the Connecticut Colony and in 1832, Bethany was incorporated as a town.<sup id="cite_ref-Town_of_Bethany,_Connecticut_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Town_of_Bethany,_Connecticut-1">[1]</a></sup> The town is named after the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Bethany" class="mw-redirect" title="Bethany">biblical place</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-ePodunk_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ePodunk-2">[2]</a></sup> </p><p>In the mid-to-late 19th century, the population of the town and the land decreased as parts were annexed by the neighboring town of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Woodbridge,_Connecticut" title="Woodbridge, Connecticut">Woodbridge</a> and the new town of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Beacon_Falls,_Connecticut" title="Beacon Falls, Connecticut">Beacon Falls</a> was incorporated into the general geography of Connecticut. The population would continue to decrease until about the 1940s, when the population would spike. </p><p>In 1923, the Bethany Airport opened up, one of the first in New England. Soon after, Troop I of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Boy_Scouts_of_America" title="Boy Scouts of America">Boy Scouts of America</a> (now known as Troop 931) was chartered in Bethany, and an organized police staff and volunteer fire fighter organization were founded. In 1954, a senior high school was built in Woodbridge to serve Woodbridge, Bethany, and Orange. Earlier Bethany students had been sent to public high schools in neighboring towns as tuition students for grades nine through twelve. In 1963, Amity Junior High School was created in Bethany. </p><p>In 2007, Bethany was named Connecticut's #1 Small Town by <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Connecticut_Magazine" title="Connecticut Magazine">Connecticut Magazine</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a></sup> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Town_seal">Town seal</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Bethany,_Connecticut&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Town seal">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <p>Bethany's town seal is a circle within which appears a circle of rope. In the upper aspects of the seal appear the words TOWN OF BETHANY CONNECTICUT in two curved lines of print bordering the inner aspect of the rope circle. On the bottom of the seal also bordering the inner aspect of the rope circle appear the words INCORPORATED 1832. These words form the top and bottom edges of a third circle, the sides of which are made of a string of inverted oak leaves on each side. A roadway bisecting the seal and extending from bottom to center is pictured within the innermost circle. Surrounded by trees are Christ Episcopal Church pictured on the right, and First Church of Christ Congregational with carriage shed on the left. The Town Seal was created by local artist and Bethany resident, Betsy Seaton, as part of Bethany's 150th anniversary celebration in 1982. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Police">Police</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Bethany,_Connecticut&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Police">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <p>Currently, Bethany has a single police officer who is hired by the town.
