Devon

Devon (/ˈdɛvən/; archaically known as Devonshire) is a county of England, reaching from the Bristol Channel in the north to the English Channel in the south. It is part of South West England, bounded by Cornwall to the west, Somerset to the northeast, and Dorset to the east. The City of Exeter is the county town; seven other districts of East Devon, Mid Devon, North Devon, South Hams, Teignbridge, Torridge, and West Devon are under the jurisdiction of Devon County Council; Plymouth and Torbay are each a part of Devon but administered as unitary authorities. Combined as a ceremonial county, Devon's area is 6,707 km2 (2,590 square miles) and its population is about 1.1 million.

Devon derives its name from Dumnonia, which, during the British Iron Age, Roman Britain, and Early Medieval was the homeland of the Dumnonii Brittonic Celts. The Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain resulted in the partial assimilation of Dumnonia into the Kingdom of Wessex during the eighth and ninth centuries. The western boundary with Cornwall was set at the River Tamar by King Æthelstan in 936. Devon was constituted as a shire of the Kingdom of England thereafter.

Devon (given name)

Devon is a unisex given name. It is a variant of Devin, which has Gaelic origins and means "of a little deer".

    The village features an Audubon Center overlooking the estuary.

    Municipal services

    Since it lies within the municipality of Milford, all of its municipal services are provided by the city including police, schools, and other essential municipal services. Court services are provided by the Ansonia-Milford Judicial District.

    Geography

    Devon lies on the coast with a great amount of coastline, it also has a surprisingly high amount of inland freshwater swamps. The Charles E. Wheeler Wildlife Management Area is located in Devon.

    Flooding

    Due to the low elevation of Devon, the high concentration of structures and pavement along Route 1 and Naugatuck Avenue, Devon experiences flooding during heavy rainstorms on a regular and increasing basis. The flooding also occurs as a result of or coincides with raised waters from Beaver Brook, the Housatonic River, or Long Island Sound.

    Selfish Girl

    by: Devon

    I am what I hate
    Now I hate who I am
    I torture animals
    So I can have shiny, bouncy hair
    Blinding rats and rabbits
    So my mascara is safe to wear
    I pay children seven cents an hour
    To make my designer jeans
    Nine years old, sixteen hours
    Behind those sewing machines
    And it doesn't seem to bother me
    I am only concerned with my personal needs
    And it doesn't occur to me
    That everything I do
    Affects something, someone, somewhere out there
    In the world
    I'm a selfish girl
    I throw away more food in a day
    Than most people eat in a week
    I allow myself the luxury of starving
    Because thin is in, and I have the choice
    I stand by allowing crime to happen
    Cause I don't want to strain my voice
    I don't want to get involved
    Because, hey, it's not my problem to solve
    And it doesn't seem to bother me
    I am only concerned with my personal needs
    And it doesn't occur to me
    That everything I do
    Affects something, someone, somewhere out there
    In the world
    I'm a selfish girl
    There are so many things wrong in the world
    It's hard to not be part of the problem
    But I have to be responsible
    I have to bear the blame
    Because everywhere I turn
    I am causing someone else's pain
    I don't want to cause anybody else's pain
    And it definitely bothers me
    That I've only been concerned with my personal needs
    And it finally occurred to me
    That everything I do
    Affects something, someone, somewhere out there
    In the world
    I don't want to be a selfish girl
    I just take, take, take, take, take, take
    From this world
    I don't want to be a selfish girl
