Torrington is the largest city in Litchfield County, Connecticut. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 35,202, but a July 1, 2004 estimate put the city's population at 36,248. It is the largest city in Litchfield County and in northwest Connecticut. It is also the core city of the largest of the country's micropolitan areas.

Torrington is an economically depressed former mill town, as are most other towns along the Naugatuck River Valley. It is currently competing with the neighboring city of Winsted to recreate a pleasant Main Street environment. Downtown Torrington is home to the Nutmeg Conservatory for the Arts, which trains world-class ballet dancers and whose Company performs in the Warner Theatre, a 1,700 seat auditorium restored in 2002 to its original 1931 glory. The theater, while originally built as a cinema by the Warner Brothers film studio, has been reborn as a performing arts venue and arts instruction organization, and it will be a focal point for any further downtown revitalization.

The current mayor of Torrington is 23-year-old Ryan Bingham.

The East end of the city, along U.S. Route 202, has been undergoing a period of non-stop, rapid expansion since 1996. Led by the development of multiple shopping centers at that time, the once empty farm land has become home to many chains that are new to the city. Among the current projects are the construction of a new chain drug store, the relocation of a local bank branch and the construction of a new car wash. Expected to begin in the next 12 months are a Stop & Shop supermarket, that would be the second in the city, as well as a Target department store nearby. In anticipation for these newest projects, the McDonalds restaurant was torn down and rebuilt, on the same site, expanded by 50%.
