For all matters relating to the general history of the early days of the Town and Colony of New Haven, the reader is referred to Atwater's admirable History of the Colony of New Haven (second edition, Meriden, 1902). New Haven was settled in 1638, and was named in 1640. The original town was much larger than at present. Wallingford was set off in 1670; Branford in 1685; Woodbridge in 1784; East Haven in 1785; Hamden in 1786; North Haven in 1786; and Orange in 1822. Naturally the vital records of these towns, formed wholly or in part from the old Town of New Haven, will be found in the New Haven records up to the time of their separate incorporation.



The population of New Haven at the several censuses during the last century and a half has been as follows:



1756 -- 5,085



1774 -- 8,295



1782 -- 7,966



1790 -- 4,484



1800 -- 5.157



1810 -- 6,967



1820 -- 8,327



1830 -- 10,678



1840 -- 14.390



1850 -- 20,345



1860 -- 39,267



1870 -- 50,840



1880 -- 62,882



1890 -- 86,045



1900 -- 108,027



1910 -- 133.605



The decrease in population between 1782 and 1790 is, of course, accounted for by the setting off of Woodbridge, East Haven, North Haven and Hamden within that period.



<b>A Historical Catalogue of the Members of the First Church of Christ, 1639-1914,</b> has been published under the direction of Professor Frankhn Bowditch Dexter. This will be found useful in supplementing the vital records of the town, as will also the records of the other ancient parishes of New Haven, Such as those of the United Church, which dates from 1742, and of Trinity Church, which was organized about 1752.
