Stamford’s East Side Community
Thinking of Stamford’s East Main Street as U.S. Route 1 helps to put the corridor in perspective. Its physical location follows old 18th century mail routes and toll roads. It is still referred to in some communities as "the King's Highway" or "the Boston Post Road." Before I-95 was built (ca. 1960), Route 1 was the Connecticut's most critical highway.

Because of its traditional traffic and commercial functions, East Main Street developed as a spine from which several of the city's neighborhoods spread to the north and south. It has therefore been thought of as a corridor, somewhat distinct from the neighborhoods just a few feet away. But it is more appropriate to think of it as an integral part of several neighborhoods, forming a link and not just a border between the Belltown/Glenbrook/Springdale and Cove—East Side/Shippan areas.
Because of its location, East Main Street serves many key functions for the local East Side community, the City of Stamford as a whole as well as the surrounding towns.
The East Side Partnership and its programs such as Kellie’s Community Garden (above) are generously supported by many individuals and organizations as well as grants from local, state and federal agencies.
