About Hamden

A suburb of New Haven, Hamden's nickname is "The Land of the Sleeping Giant". A blend of urban and suburban lifestyles, Hamden has a New England charm about it. Originally inhabited by the Quinnipiack Native American tribe, it was settled by Puritans in 1638. You will find a collection of village-like areas: Mount Carmel that is home to Quinnipiac University and where you will find the unique hill formation of the "Sleeping Giant", Whitnevville awash in stone houses built for the employees of the local mill, Spring Glen, West Woods and Highwood. A steady influx of Irish and Italian immigrants appeared during the 19th and early 20th Centuries, so you know you can get great pasta in town cooked al dente.

You can take a trip down history's path when you walk along the main thoroughfare of Hamden, Whitney Avenue, where you will find an old factory converted into the Eli Whitney Museum. The Farmington Canal is a great place to take a walk or ride a bike and you will pass by canal locks and some of Hamden's historical sites along the way. You can have time out along the Mill River that runs through to Lake Whitney and on to Long Island Sound, or head to Quinnipiac River and Lake Wintergreen for a taste of the outdoors. There is the largest collection of British art outside of the United Kingdom in the Yale Center for British Arts and if you are into comic books there is the Barker Character, Comic & Cartoon Museum to wander around. Museum buffs will enjoy the Peabody Museum of Natural History overflowing with dinosaur fossils and those into a bit of herbal medicine will love having a look at the Jonathan Dickerman House where there is a herb garden for folk medicines. Take time out to smell the roses at the Pardee Rose Garden or if that is too sedate for you, then put on the running shoes and tackle the 23-mile Quinnipiac Trail or the 6.3 miles along the Regicides Trail.
