DescriptionMap of New Haven, Connecticut, extending from Clinton Park to the north, the Quinnipiac River to the east, Grand Street to the south, and Ferry Street to the west. Within those boundaries, there are nineteen blocks of lots totalling five hundred. The lots are numbered within each block, and some of them contain footprints of buildings.
Label TextNew Haven developed rapidly during the 1800s, expanding outwards from its central green into outlying areas. The new area to the east of the original city between the harbor and the Mill River was laid out in a grid pattern reflecting the original street plan. In the mid-1900s the cloverleaf intersection between two interstate highways, I-95 and I-91, would occupy this area.
