From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greater New Haven is the metropolitan area whose extent includes those towns in Connecticut that share an economic, social, political, and historical focus on New Haven, Connecticut. It occupies the south-central portion of the state in a radius around New Haven. The region is known for 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.Towns usually considered to be part of Greater New Haven include: Bethany, Branford, Cheshire, Chester, Clinton, Deep River, Durham, East Haven, Essex, Guilford, Hamden, Killingworth, Madison, Meriden, Milford, New Haven, North Branford, North Haven, Old Saybrook, Orange, Wallingford, West Haven, and Westbrook.
Greater New Haven is approximately coterminous with the New Haven Metropolitan NECTA (New England City and Town Area), though the New Haven Metropolitan NECTA does not include Milford, which is sometimes considered part of Greater New Haven. The New Haven Metropolitan NECTA has a population of 571,310.
