New York City's elite once chose New Canaan as a vacation town, but they liked it so much, they decided to stay there year-round and turn it into one of the nation's wealthiest residential communities.

Architects like Philip Johnson also liked New Canaan and turned it into a showcase for some of the most stunning examples of modern architecture in the world. You may have caught a peek at some of the town's multimillion-dollar homes if you watched the 1997 film drama, "The Ice Storm."
