New Haven, CTניו הייבן

Connecticut, USA

New Haven is a coastal city in Connecticut, United States, founded in 1638 by English Puritans as one of America's first planned towns. The Collegiate School moved there in 1716 and was soon renamed Yale. The theologian Jonathan Edwards graduated from it in 1720, and the city long remained a centre of New England Congregationalism. In 1863 Yale awarded the first American doctorate in engineering to the physicist Josiah Willard Gibbs, a New Haven native. Later Jewish immigration left a lasting mark on the city, which had a yeshiva by the twentieth century, and the Zen teacher Philip Kapleau was born there.
