A View of the River: Cellars, Columns and Porches
Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1984 Volume I: Elements of Architecture, Part II A View of the River: Cellars, Columns and Porches Curriculum Unit 84.01.03 by Patricia K. Flynn Situated between the Mill and Quinnipiac Rivers is the community of Fair Haven. From Colonial times this area of land known as the Neck was sold for farmland to its early settlers. On the eastern side of the Quinnipiac River is the area identified as Dragon. Dragon originally was located at the Point of where the present day Ferry Street bridge crosses the Quinnipiac River. Early Indian settlements existed in the same location. Supposedly the name Dragon originated with stories told by suitors of seals (sea dragons) that would sun themselves on this sandy point of land. 1 Dragon in time came to include the eastern side of the river that belonged to East Haven, and came to be known as the Heights. Together both the Neck and Dragon became Fair Haven in the nineteenth century (1824). In 1870 the Neck became part of New Haven. It was not until 1881 that the Heights joined New Haven after an affiliation with the town of East Haven. The history and growth of Fair Haven greatly relied upon the resources of the Quinnipiac River. From the time of the Quinnipiac Indians (“long-water-land”) the oyster was to become not only an available food source but a major industry of the community; which was to influence the prosperity of Fair Haven during the nineteenth century. -
