When [[ZIP codes]] were introduced in 1963, the '''06810''' code was given to all of Danbury; it was shared with a then-still-rural New Fairfield to its north. In 1984, the 06810 Zip Code was cut back to areas of Danbury south of Interstate 84. A new '''06811''' ZIP code was created for areas north of Interstate 84. New Fairfield received its own code, '''06812'''.
