Connecticut voted for the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Grover Cleveland over the Republican nominee Benjamin Harrison. Cleveland won the state by a very narrow margin of 0.22%; it was the only New England state that he carried in the election.
This was the first time Darien voted for a Democratic presidential candidate, and would be the last time until 2016 when Hillary Clinton won it by eleven points over Republican Donald Trump.
