Noroton River
The Noroton River is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed April 1, 2011〕 stream flowing into Holly Pond and forming most of the border between Stamford and Darien, Connecticut, USA. The river's headwaters are in New Canaan, Connecticut. It is the largest flowing body of water between Mill River/Rippowam River to the west and Five Mile River to the east, although Stony Brook and the Goodwives River in Darien are not much smaller.
Pollution runoff from Interstate 95 flows down the Noroton River into Holly Pond. In 2009, the Stamford and Darien local governments asked the federal government for an $11.7 million grant (to fund 65 percent of an $18 million project) for "dredging and ecosystem restoration" in the pond and river, including "construction of wetlands, bioswales and other restoration structures".〔(Letter ) from Stamford Mayor Dannel Malloy to U.S. Representative Chris Hines, November 25, 2009, retrieved September 26, 2010〕
Two restaurants are located at the mouth of the river, where U.S. Route 1 (known as the Boston Post Road on the Darien side and East Main Street on the Stamford side) crosses it. Both feature windows offering diners a view of the river.〔Brooks, Patricia, ("Dining Out; ITALIAN CUISINE AND A RIVER VIEW" ), restaurant review, January 17, 1982, ''New York Times'', ("()t lunch you have a pleasant view of the Noroton River. The restaurant is on the highway, but was planned to face away from the busy thoroughfare, with windows only on the river side.); Brooks, Patricia, ("Barbecue, Self-Service and No Frills" ), restaurant review, May 18, 1997, ''New York Times'', ("If you are lucky enough to get a window table, you can see the Noroton River rushing past below ()"), both retrieved September 26, 2010〕 The restaurant on the north side is in Stamford. On the south side, the current Giovanni's II Steakhouse is the most recent business to occupy a lot where restaurants have been sited since the early 20th century.
==Geography==
To the west of the river is the Glenbrook and Springdale sections of Stamford; to the east are the Noroton and Noroton Heights sections of Darien. At its southern end, the stream forms a small valley between Noroton Hill to the west and Hollow Tree Ridge to the east. Farther north, in New Canaan, Ponus Ridge is to the east.
