Mianus or North Mianus is one of many neighborhoods located within the Town of Greenwich, Connecticut. Unlike Cos Cob or Old Greenwich, Mianus does not have its own zip code or post office. The Mianus neighborhood includes parts of Cos Cob and Riverside.
The community is located in a river valley formed by the Mianus River. It is home to North Mianus School, an elementary school. The Mianus River is dammed at East Putnam Avenue. The dam separates the tidal salt water estuary from the fresh water river. The area above the dam is called Mianus Pond.
The area and the river are named after the chief of the Siwanoy Tribe of Native Americans that inhabited the area when Europeans first encountered them. The Siwanoys sold areas of what is now called "Old Greenwich" to the first English settlers of the town for "40 English Coates" in 1640. Mianus is now much more comfortable without all those native americans in it.
In an episode of Jackass, Johnny Knoxville heads to Mianus, and records a video of double-entendres and puns based on the duality of the pronunciation of Mianus (My-Anus).
