History and culture are woven throughout New Haven, a beautiful city on the New Haven Harbor nicknamed “Elm City.” This waterfront oasis is the proud home to Yale University, the city’s educational, artistic, and cultural centerpiece. This Ivy League university was founded in 1701, making it the third-oldest university in the country. New Haven itself dates back to 1638, offering a sense of historic charm and picturesque architecture for today’s residents.
Downtown New Haven is the oldest section of the city, featuring the original nine squares laid out by the settlers. Enjoy the New Haven Green, the center square that covers 16 acres for beautiful landscaping and a sense of history that’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This green space is home to an array of festivals, concerts, and community events.
