New Haven is the second largest city in Connecticut and the seat of New Haven County. Situated on Long Island Sound about 75 miles from New York City, New Haven is both a manufacturing and educational center for Connecticut. Neighboring Waterbury is 21 miles from New Havenand situated on the Naugatuck River.
In the spring of 1638, a group of English Puritans led by Theophilus Eaton and the Rev. John Davenport, settled at the head of New Haven Bay. At first it was ruled by a "plantation covenant," but in 1639, the settlers decided to become a theocracy and to be ruled entirely by scripture. The Old Green in the center of the city was laid out by the surveyor John Brockett around 1640.
In 1664, New Haven became part of the colony of Connecticut. From 1701 to 1873, New Haven shared the title of capital with Hartford. During the Revolutionary War, New Haven supported the American cause, although there were numerous Loyalists in the city, 75 of whom had their property confiscated. New Haven was invaded by General William Tryon in 1779, but the British were repulsed before they could burn the city.
Yale College, founded in Saybrook, was moved to New Haven in 1717, where it developed into Yale University. Some of Yale's buildings are found around the Old Green, along with three churches that were built in 1814: Trinity, Center, and United. Another landmark is the Ives Memorial Library, the central library of the New Haven Free Public Library, built in 1908. The New Haven Symphony Orchestra is the fourth oldest symphony in America, having given its first performance in 1895.
Edgerton Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Edgewood Park began with sixty acres donated in 1889. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. designed the layout in 1910.
In 1954, Mayor Richard Lee began his first of eight terms as Mayor of New Haven. Lee hoped to stem the emigration of the middle class, eliminate the slums and revitalize the economy. More than $300 million dollars was spent in public and private construction in renewal areas during Lee's administration.

Yale-New Haven Hospital is the primary hospital associated with Yale University. St. Raphael's Hospital, founded in 1907, also co-operates with Yale's medical school.
However, revitalization of many areas of the city continued after Lee left office in 1969. Wooster Square, which in the 1950's was a slum, is now home to new commercial and industrial buildings and an established historic district. In 1994 The Audubon Arts Center Complex was completed. Revitalization is also occurring in Science Park, the East Shore community, the harborfront, Upper State Street and many other areas.
Wooster Square was never a slum, before the hipsters moved in it was Italian working class, the people who make the Apizz you love so much .
YUP, NEVER A SLUM- SALLY AND PEPES!!

Sadly, most of fair Haven which was Irish and Italian neighborhoods have become more of a slum

My ancestor George Pardee came to New Haven in 1644, escaping Taunton England having been wounded in the civil war. He eventually was one of the first headmasters of the Hopkins Grammar School. The Pardee name is still in town. Thank you for screening this.
I'm a direct descendant of George Pardee too. Hey cuz!
@@anonymouse0221 How about that! I’m sure you are as proud of your roots as I am.
Did your relatives have anything to do with the Pardee House on Lighthouse Rd?
@@beachside1Not my direct line. The first Pardee who came to New Haven had two sons who continued the line:Joseph, who moved to West Haven, from which my direct line moved to Orange, and George, who moved to East Haven, whose descendants are the source of many places that today bear the Pardee name. A lot of history indeed!
Theophilus Eaton is my ancestor. His son went to Ireland.
john davenport is my ancestor.
His adopted son founded Yale university.

Helo! What famous rock, blues, rap bands are from New Haven?
The Carpenters!

Why was the Independent colony of New Haven abolished? The three main roads tell you, Whalley, goffe and Dixwell. All three men had signed the death warrant of King Charles the first of England. My pods on youtube and facebook explain they are titlled after my book on the subject In the Name of the Crown. Amazon and kindle.
Yes, the story of Whalley, Goffe, and Dixwell is great history, although there are various versions. But it included them hiding out in a cave in West Rock, known now as the Three Judges Cave. When I was in Hillhouse High School in the 1950s, my friends and I would eat at the Three Judges Restaurant. Again thank you for screening, and opening conversations among your viewers.
TOADS PLACE🎩
As a BLACK child, and into adulthood. NEW HAVEN never loved me, as I have love it.
We Removed Colombus from Wooster Square but who were the Indigenous People who were driven out? and no talk of the total destruction of the ethnic neighborhoods and Churches during the reign of Richard C Lee as mayor an the purge of Yale university on all these areas. I remember some a a child and the garment district fire but there are no stories.
Now the only good thing about New Haven is the pizza
