Scenic Wooded Upscale Historic University Family-Friendly

The wooded, scenic hills of Woodbridge provide an impressive setting to call home. Adjacent to New Haven, it is a popular location for faculty of Yale University. It is also convenient to the University of New Haven and Southern Connecticut State University. The natural beauty includes waterfalls, lakes, and woods in Sperry Falls Park and Naugatuck State Forest Quillinan Reservoir Block – a 5,000-acre forest with hiking trails, snowshoeing, and mountain biking.

Originally called Amity, Woodbridge has a fascinating history dating back to the mid-1600s. It was a hideout for the Regicides, three of the judges who signed the death warrant of King Charles I after his trial, only to have the monarchy restored in 1660 with King Charles’ son taking his father’s place on the throne. Rather than stay in England and face certain death, they fled to what is now Woodbridge. You’ll find evidence of the judges along the seven-mile Regicides Trail and the Judges’ Cave, both located in West Rock Ridge State Park.
