New Haven

New Haven lies along New Haven Harbor, where a sheltered inlet meets Long Island Sound and low coastal ground extends inland toward the historic center. The city’s distinctive nine-square plan, laid out by English settlers in 1638, still focuses on the New Haven Green, a large common framed by churches, civic buildings and university life. Yale University, founded in 1701, shapes much of the downtown through its libraries, museums and collegiate architecture. The harbor and nearby waterfront connect this academic city to Connecticut’s maritime edge.
