Welcome to Cos Cob
As the Old Town farmers struggled with its rocky soil, the tiny hamlet to its west prospered as a seaport. Cos Cob, originally known as Mianus, was named after the Siwanoy Chief, Myanos. Settled by the Dutch, Cos Cob got its name from an Englishman named John Coe. Coe, an early settler, built a rocky seawall, then referred to as a “Cob,” that became known as Coe’s Cob. Coe left the area in 1659 but the name stuck and over time the “e” was dropped. Cos Cob flourished as a seaport during the 18th and 19th centuries. At the turn of the 19th century, Cos Cob evolved into an intellectual and artist colony playing host to the likes of Eugene O’Neill, Willa Cather, and Anya Seton. Cos Cob today is a robust community with a central downtown shopping district along Route 1.
