The layout of the original New Haven settlement, established in 1638, comprises a grid of four streed by four streets, creating a nine-block plan that is recognized by the American Institute of Certified Planners as a National Historic Planning Landmark for being one of the first pre-planned settlements. The central block in the plan is a 16-acres (6 ha) public park, known as the New Haven Green. Located right at the heart of Downtown New Haven, it is also a National Historic Landmark.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
