4worldlovers: Founded in 1638, New Haven, Connecticut is one of the oldest cities in the United States and also one of the most walkable cities in New England.

The New Haven Green, a remarkable 16-acre site in the center of the downtown, is the central square in the original nine square design of the city. The Green is famous for its canopy of elm trees, free concerts, and historic architecture.

The Committee of the Proprietors of Common and Undivided Lands at New Haven was established in 1810. The five trustees act to preserve the Green's history, preventing its commercialization and ensuring that it remains an open and beautiful green space for enjoyment by the community.

The New Haven Green is a National Historic Landmark and was named one of the country's top 10 public spaces by the American Planning Association.

It is believed that the Puritans designed the Green to be large enough to hold the number of people they believed would be spared in the second coming of Christ, 144,000.
