Stratford Point Light

Stratford Point Light is a lighthouse in Greater Bridgeport County, Connecticut. Connecticut has 34 lighthouses on record at Wayfarrow, 7 of them in Greater Bridgeport County.

It was built in 1881, in the late 19th century, making it the 18th oldest of the 28 in Connecticut with a recorded construction date; the tower stands about 35 feet tall (14th tallest of 21 measured in Connecticut); its light sits 52 feet above the water; the light characteristic is recorded as Fl(2) W 20s (a group of 2 white flashes every 20 seconds), with a range of about 16 nautical miles; the structure is built of cast iron.

Status check, 2026-11: The station dates from 1822, but the original wooden tower was torn down and replaced in 1881 by a cast-iron tower, one of the first prefabricated cylindrical lighthouses in the US.
