Stars Hollow is a fictional town on Gilmore Girls. It is located 30 miles from Hartford, Connecticut. It takes approximately half an hour to reach Hartford, 40 minutes on the bus.
About
Stars Hollow is a very small town and, as a result, its residents live very interconnected lives, at times too involved in one another's personal affairs. The town boasts multiple festivals throughout the year, likely as a large source of its revenue comes from tourism. Most of the town's official business is settled at its democratic Town Meetings, where all citizens get to arbiter legal matters (as the town has yet to establish an official court of law). The Revolutionary War plays a frequent role in the town's past. But what really makes this town so special are the people living there and the businesses that are very popular.
