City Hall is a historically significant municipal building that holds a wealth of stories. Its construction dates back to 1854 when it was established as the combined City Hall and Fairfield County Courthouse. It served as Bridgeport City Hall for several decades until the 1930s. Presently, various important offices, including the mayor's office, economic development, legal, budget, and public facilities, share their operations at Lyon Terrace. The dedicated staff members are well-regarded for their kind and helpful nature, making it convenient to organize events and functions at City Hall. The Council plays a pivotal role in the budgetary process, either adopting the budget proposed by the Mayor or introducing modifications as needed. Their responsibility involves ensuring that the budgetary departments receive the necessary funds, equipment, and supplies for smooth operations. To cater to visitors with disabilities, designated handicapped parking spaces and accessible building entry points are available from Broad Street.
