History

Foxon Park was founded in 1922 in East Haven, Connecticut by Matteo Naclerio, an immigrant from Italy. The beverage company Naclerio opened was named after the Foxon Park section of East Haven, and is still located at its original location on Foxon Blvd. [2] The company began by bottling water and delivering it to homes in the area. When there was a downturn in demand for bottled water due to the Depression, the company began making and delivering soda in 1929. [3] Some unique flavors were offered, such as Iron Brew (a drink made famous in Scotland) and gassosa (a lemon-flavored Italian soda). Foxon Park still remains a family-owned business.
