Ebenezer Fitch

Ebenezer Fitch (1838-1905) practiced law on occasion, but he made a substantial income selling coal to factories in Westport and Norwalk. His first farm was a spread on Newtown Turnpike, but in 1885 he bought Ward Nichols' 170-acre homestead at 183 Good Hill Road. Sunset Drive and Forest Road were eventually carved from this large farm.
