What cannabis store is near Seymour, CT?
Hi! People Derby, an adult-use cannabis store at 90 Pershing Dr, is the store we point shoppers here to, about 11 minutes from the center without traffic. Ansonia and Derby are the towns to the south of Seymour. Order ahead for pickup at our counter, or choose delivery at checkout if your address is covered. Our store page has the details.
The ride from town: Route 8, buses and the train
Take Route 8 south toward Derby. Pershing Drive is now exit 13A on Route 8, and it was exit 16 before mileage based renumbering, so an older note that says exit 16 means the same ramp. Connecticut DOT began mileage based exit number signs on Route 8 on July 8, 2024, as its exit renumbering advisory explains. The ramp is a northbound exit and southbound entrance, so do not plan on leaving Route 8 there going south. Put 90 Pershing Dr into your maps app and take the exit it gives you.
Without a car, check CTtransit's New Haven bus routes before you rely on a ride.
The train station is changing too. CTDOT's station page says Seymour will receive an upgraded station built on the existing site, with a new 350-foot platform parallel to Route 115 and the downtown area. It lists the new platform opening in November 2027.
Parks, history and the library around town
The public library is at 46 Church Street, and the Naugatuck Railroad opened from Milford north to Seymour in May 1849. Little-Laurel Lime Ridge Park, at Tomlinson Road and Laurel Ridge Road, covers 209 acres with hiking trails and is noted for its limestone caves. French Memorial Park, at Spruce Street and Nichols Street, has a scenic overlook and a seasonal band stand. The parks department page gives the street locations for both.
The local history group had the opportunity in 1989 to move into the Katharine Matthies house on West Street, and it was founded as an off-shoot of the United States Bicentennial Committee in 1975. Its brief history of the town says the town was originally named Chusetown, then renamed Humphreysville. In 1802, Humphreys shipped the first Merino sheep to the U.S. The town became incorporated during the May 1850 session of the General Assembly, and the first town meeting was held on June 24, 1850.
Census Bureau figures put the town at an estimated 17,139 residents in 2024, with 14.5 square miles of land.
