Ansonia became a separate town from Derby in 1889 and was incorporated as a city in 1893. The city’s earlier borough court building on Water Street was superseded by a new City Hall on Main Street in 1905, which originally housed the police headquarters and city court as well. There are two monuments in front of City Hall: one honors Ansonia’s war veterans and the other the members of the Ansonia Volunteer Fire Department.
