About East Haven

East Haven is a town in New Haven County, Connecticut, in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the town population was 28,189. The town is just 3 minutes from downtown New Haven. East Haven is 35 miles from Hartford, 82 miles from New York City, 99 miles from Providence, Rhode Island and 140 miles from Boston.

Located 3 miles east of New Haven, Connecticut it is part of the New Haven, Connecticut Metropolitan (NECTA) area. This area comprises 22 towns and cities with a 2000 census population of 571,310 people.

The residents of the town divide it into three large "sections" rather than a number of smaller neighborhoods. These sections are:

Foxon
The area which borders Branford and North Branford on the east, New Haven on the west to about Grannis Pond in the south and surrounds State Route 80. This is the hilliest section of town. It counts among its landmarks the town high school, Foxon Park Beverage (a locally famous soda manufactury), and Camp Murray, a Girl Scouts of the USA day camp. Grannis Pond used to house a YMCA camp until the land was sold and developed.

Momauguin
The area is located in the southern section of East Haven, from Morris Cove section of New Haven on the west to Branford on the east and starting at Short Beach Road in the north. This section includes the town beach, numerous condominiums and summer cottages. The area near Tweed New Haven Airport includes an Industrial Park which Town Fair Tire Centers Headquarters and Calabro Cheese Corporation.

"The Center"
The Center is not actually the geographical center of town but rather the hub of most things administrative. Landmarks of "The Center" include the Town Hall, Fire Department Headquarters, Hagaman Memorial Library, the "old" East Haven High School and other administrative buildings. The Police Department and Public Works Department reside on the "center" - Foxon line.

The most recognizable landmark in East Haven is the Old Stone Church. Built in 1774, the steeple of the church stands out against the low horizon.

The original high school now houses the East Haven Academy, an acclaimed magnet school, the East Haven Historical Society, and a teen center.

The Town Green is a 2.4 arce park located at the eastern end of the central business district (two blocks east of the town hall) and is mostly covered by trees. There are monuments dedicated to honor war veterans and firefighters. The focal point of the green is their gazabo or bandstand. The Green is the site of the annual East Haven Fall Festival and summer concerts.

Margaret Tucker Park is considered the second East Haven Green, with its location across the street from Town Hall and the Old Stone Church. Plans are be developed to add additional land to the park, along with a water fountain.
