New
Haven, Connecticut is a small city with a world-class
way of living. It has some of the world's greatest
museums and attractions, terrific cuisine, and
a strong community spirit. The histories of Yale
University and the city of New Haven have been
intertwined for over three hundred years. Although
Yale is at the center of New Haven, it is
not all that the city has to offer.
Founded
in 1638 by English Puritans, the
city is over 350 years old. Through the years, this
beautiful spot on the Long Island Sound became
an important commercial center between New York
and Boston. It is now home to about 125,000 people,
with another 500,000 in the surrounding area.
