New Haven (pop. 1,666) is located on Highway 17 in
Addison County.
Chartered on November 2, 1761, New Haven was one of three villages (Salisbury and Middlebury) granted to a group of Connecticut residents who named it after what was then their former colony's capital. An early settler in New Haven, Solomon Brown, was reputed to be the first to shoot a redcoat at the Battle of Lexington during the Revolutionary War. New Haven was the site of bitter battles between the Yorkers and the Green Mountain Boys.
