About Hamden, Connecticut
Hamden is a town of 61,169 people in New Haven County, on New Haven's northern edge. In November 1638 the New Haven settlers bought a tract of 130 square miles from Montowese, chief of the Mattabesset, and that purchase took in the land that is Hamden today. Puritan farmers settled it as part of New Haven, and it stayed that way until 1786. That year 1,400 residents broke away as a town of their own, which they named for John Hampden, the English statesman, and the first town meeting gathered in the Mount Carmel congregation's meeting house.
Through the 1800s the Mill River powered a chain of mill villages. Henry Ives opened the Mount Carmel Axle Works in 1842, and the next fall Leverett Candee started producing rubber shoes at Centerville, licensed by Charles Goodyear. By 1850 part of Candee's business had moved to New Haven, and the New Haven Web Company later took over his old site. An 1895 magazine counted dams running south from Mount Carmel for axles, silk, brass, grain, webbing and augers, with workers' homes forming one long village through most of the town.
“This spot, which is two miles from New Haven, is admirably adapted for manufacturing purposes, and justly admired for the romantic beauty of its scenery.”
- Squire Whitney's armoryEli Whitney purchased Mill River land for a mill in 1798 and pledged 10,000 muskets to the government, even without a factory, workers or any experience making guns. His water-powered shop used interchangeable parts, and the stone houses built for his workers named Whitneyville. Neighbors called him Squire Whitney because he ran town meetings, audited the town's books and served as justice of the peace. Winchester bought the armory in 1888 and closed it after 90 years.
- A church with no fireAfter the Revolution, families in southern Hamden wanted a church nearer than New Haven. They met first at Captain Mix's house, then about 1793 built a plain meeting house that had no stove for years, even in the coldest weather. The church organized on August 18, 1795. In 1834 it moved to a Greek Revival building in Whitneyville, on land given by the Whitney family, and Rev. Austin Putnam, who came in 1838, served as pastor for 48 years.
- Boats on the Farmington CanalFrom 1825 to 1848, boats traveled north from New Haven through Hamden on the Farmington Canal, New England's longest at 86 miles, until the railroad took its business. When the canal came through in the 1820s, the Orrin Todd House was moved across the road to make room, and in 2016 local protest saved it from being torn down. Lock No. 13 still survives beside the trail that now follows the old canal route.
- A tower on the Giant's hipMount Carmel's founders named their village after nearby hills that called to mind the biblical Mount Carmel. Those hills form the Sleeping Giant, which a Quinnipiac story says is the spirit Hobbomock, put to sleep forever. In the 1930s the Works Progress Administration built the stone Sleeping Giant Tower on the Giant's left hip, the high point at 739 feet.
- Dr. King in 1961No Jewish congregation in Connecticut or anywhere else in New England is older than Congregation Mishkan Israel, founded in 1840 by New Haven families who came mostly from Bavaria. In 1960 it moved into a Modernist synagogue on Ridge Road designed by Fritz Nathan, and in 1961 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. came to preach at its dedication.
