New London CT Community Profile & History
New London, Connecticut was founded in 1646 by John Winthrop. A major international port by the 18th century, New London once boasted as many as eighty whaling ships among its fleet. Evidence of the vast fortunes amassed here can be seen in Whale Oil Row, where four incredible 1830 Greek Revival homes stand.
In 1781, during the Revolutionary War, New London was set ablaze when the wind shifted as the British were burning ships and supplies. Whaleships no longer tie up at New London piers, but freighters, ferries, yachts, cruise ships, charter vessels and party fishing boats sail in and out of the port regularly. The city is also a hub for trains, buses and local businesses.
Among New London's many cultural attractions are two historic houses which illustrate the heritage of a Colonial seafaring family. The Joshua Hempstead house is the only Underground Railway stop open to the public. The older (1678) is among the best documented 17th century homes in America. Downriver, on Pequot Avenue, is the Monte Cristo Cottage, boyhood summer home of playwright Eugene O'Neill. The cottage is now a theater museum, open to the public.
On Long Island Sound is Ocean Beach Park, with one of the longest and finest stretches of sand in the state. New London is home to the large and modern Lawrence Memorial Hospital with the Pequot Treatment Center in Groton.
New London is a historically rich and diverse community located at the convergence of the Thames River, the Long Island Sound, and the Atlantic Ocean. The City is home to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Connecticut College, and Mitchell College. Famous New Londoners include Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale and playwright Eugene O'Neill. Rich in history, vibrant in its multi-cultural makeup, the small city of New London offers visitors and residents much to savor.
