Warren is the least populated community in the Greater New Milford region, with just over 1,260 inhabitants. This quiet community of homes scattered along hills and valleys, is bound by the spectacular shores of ravishing Lake Waramaug, the second largest natural lake in the State, spanning 672 acres. The name Waramaug means “good fishing place” in the local Native American language and with good reason as enthusiasts can be spotted year round - even ice fishing in the dead of winter. Warren maintains the charm of an old New England town with rustic scenery and remarkable water views. The serene, rural setting creates a haven for those seeking the tranquility that nature provides for leisure or activity. With the beckoning of such environmental treasures as Wyantenock State Forest and the picturesque Lake Waramaug, Warren offers breathtaking surroundings and the striking panoramic vistas of the Shepaug and Upper Shepaug Reservoirs. Warren is truly suited to those attracted to outdoor activities such as natural hikes and walks as well as the sheltered shade of trees for relaxing recreational activities.

The beautiful First Congregational Church of Warren, built in 1818, sits high on the hill above the intersection of Routes 45 and 341, providing a perfect example of a picturesque New England church.

The government administration of this peaceful habitat consists of a Board of Selectmen, and a Board of Finance with regularly scheduled town meetings. As a member of the Regional School District 6, students within the community first attend their choice of Warren Elementary School in Warren, James Morris School in Morris, or Goshen Center School in Goshen, all public elementary schools serving Kindergarten through sixth grade. Students continue on to Wamogo Regional High School (Grades 7-12) in nearby Litchfield.
