Welcome to the official website for the City of Bristol, Connecticut. We are one of the largest cities in the state, with country landscapes of open land as well as friendly neighborhoods lined with sidewalks. Bristol is situated in Central Connecticut, twenty miles south-west of Hartford with easy access to all major highways. It is a wonderfully diverse and family friendly community that offers a wide range of historical, entertainment and dining opportunities. Our quality of life benefits from the seven hundred acres of beautiful parks, a high rated education system including two high schools with upgraded buildings and surrounding athletic fields, and an aggressive promotion of economic development that attracts reputable industry which in turn increases our Grand List. The Bristol community is active in the arts, a wide range of sporting activities and preserving our city’s rich history of architecture, revolutionary clock making and general manufacturing. Whether you are a resident, member of our business community or a visitor, we want to make your experience with Bristol as pleasant as possible. To this end, we are currently beginning the transformation of our website into one that will be more informative, interactive and user friendly. We are excited about being able to offer new features and services, and are looking forward to continuously adding to these as the website design progresses. We are always looking for feedback as to how to improve our communication to the community. Please take the time to send us your comments and suggestions. Arthur J. Ward MAYOR mayorsoffice@ci.bristol.ct.us
