History

In 1806, the dam that Eli Whitney built at the mill site was enlarged to create a reservoir, Lake Whitney (Connecticut) Whitney. During the post-war period, Hamden underwent significant suburban development. Much of the southern section of town is urbanized and is difficult to distinguish from neighboring New Haven. Before its use as a walking and bicycling trail, many local residents rode their motocross bikes on the Farmington Canal. The canal right-of-way has become, in recent years, a popular walking and bicycling trail, passing by some of the well-preserved Lock (water transport) of the canal, as well as some of Hamden's oldest sites.
