The First Taxing District
Originally incorporated in 1836, the Borough of Norwalk became the First Taxing District in 1913 when the City of Norwalk was created by the consolidation of several towns and boroughs.
Board of Commissioners
The District is presided over by a Board of Commissioners and officers representing the First Taxing District of the City of Norwalk principally for purposes of water supply.
