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.
