Info for Branchville Limousine Service
Branchville, first applied in 1870 to the southeast corner of town(Ridgefield), was named for the "branch" rail line from the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad to Ridgefield Village. The first recorded use of the term appears in an 1870 deed for four acres "lying in the town of Ridgefield at Branchville."
An 1893 atlas labels this territory as "Plattsville," which is undoubtedly a mapmaker's error. The U.S. Geological Survey map uses "Branchville Hill" for the ridge along Old Branchville Road at Bruschi Lane.
A map prepared for the town assessors in 1934 labels as Branchville Hill road what we today call Nod Hill Road. This suggest that the ridge traversed by this road was at some time called Branchville Hill, a more likely possibility than the Branchville Hill situation cited above.
