WestportNow is currently operating as a digital history archive.

One of the nation’s first professionally written and edited community news sites, WestportNow provided 24/7 coverage of Westport, Connecticut, from its founding in 2003 until the death of editor and publisher Gordon F. Joseloff in November 2020. (See WestportNow November 9, 2020). It frequently attracted more readers on a weekly basis than any other print or online Westport-based publication.

WestportNow’s award-winning journalism will remain available on the website as a historical record of Westport from 2003 to 2020. Visitors can use the search bar at the top of the page to find topics of interest or scroll using the links at the bottom.

WestportNow is grateful to its readers, contributors, and advertisers for making the site a trusted source of fact-based information for nearly 18 years. We hope the archive is useful to researchers and historians and reminds Westporters what makes our community such a special place.

Comments, questions, and inquiries can be addressed to editor@westportnow.com.
