Information About

Greater New Haven






Although not listed as part of the New Haven NECTA, the city of Milford (in New Haven County) is sometimes considered to be part of Greater New Haven.


ROLE AS A REGION OF CONNECTICUT


Greater New Haven is also a general region of the state of Connecticut, occupying the south-central portion of the state in a radius around the city of New Haven that is semi-contiguous with the boundaries of New Haven County. The region is known for several distinct qualities within the state, most notably its educational and economic connections to the academic landmark of Yale University , its vibrant Italian-American culture and cuisine, the oceanside recreation and beach-community feel of the shoreline towns east of New Haven, and the Trap Rock landscapes stretching north from New Haven.
