NEW HAVEN
New Haven County • “The Elm City”
Town 1st Settled on April 3, 1638
New Haven incorporated in 1784
In 1640, New Haven, with ‘haven’ meaning harbor or port, grew in size. On 23 April 1775, which is still celebrated in New Haven as Powder House Day, the Second Company, Governor’s Foot Guard, of New Haven entered the struggle against the British. They broke into the powder house to arm themselves for the fight.
New Haven is the home of Yale University. New Haven’s biggest taxpayer and employer is Yale University. New Haven calls itself the “Cultural Capital of Connecticut” for its supply of established theaters, museums, and music venues. New Haven had the first public tree planting program in America, producing a canopy of mature trees (including some large elms) that gave the city the nickname “The Elm City”.
New Haven was the home of the first African-American woman appointed to the federal judiciary, Constance Baker Motley (September 14, 1921 – September 28, 2005).
Motley was an American jurist and politician, who served as a Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York from August 30, 1966 – September 30, 1986.
She was born in New Haven, the ninth of twelve children. She was the first Black woman to argue at the U.S. Supreme Court and argued 10 landmark civil rights cases, winning nine.
Motley was Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (May 31, 1982 – September 30, 1986). She assumed senior status on September 30, 1986 to September 28, 2005.
During her time as a federal judge, she made efforts to reach out to other African American women in her position, like Judge Anne Elise Thompson, federal judge for the District of New Jersey.
