Ash Creek (Connecticut) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ash Creek (Connecticut) Ash Creek is a tidal creek and intertidal wetland in Fairfield County, Connecticut that serves as a border between the city of Bridgeport and the town of Fairfield. It is the last salt water estuary in the area, extending from Long Island Sound and up the Rooster River.〔http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/lsteffen/acca/acca.htm〕 ==History== The area was known on colonial maps as the Uncoway or Fairfield River. Ash Creek has served as Fairfield's main harbor since the founding of the town in 1639.〔http://www.inversemedia.com/fos/ash1.htm〕 The Ritz Ballroom was also located in the neighborhood. The name Ash Creek was given to the body of water after Fairfield Center was burned to the ground by the British during the Revolutionary War. Due to wind direction that day a majority of the ashes were deposited in "Ash Creek."
