About The New Haven Green
The New Haven Green is a historic 16-acre public space located at the heart of New Haven. Established in 1638 as part of the city’s original Nine-Square Plan, the Green has served as a central gathering place for more than 380 years, making it one of the oldest and most iconic public spaces in the United States.
Beyond its historical significance, the Green is a vibrant civic and cultural hub. Surrounded by historic buildings, including three iconic churches and Yale University, it is home to a diverse array of events throughout the year. From outdoor concerts and arts festivals to political rallies and community gatherings, the Green is a space that invites people of all backgrounds to come together, reflect, and celebrate.
The New Haven Green isn’t just a place; it’s a symbol of the city’s rich history and the community’s ongoing spirit of connection. Whether you’re visiting for a lively event, taking a peaceful walk, or enjoying a sunny day with friends and family, the Green remains New Haven’s living room, a space where all are welcome.
About The Committee of the Proprietors of The New Haven Green
The Committee of the Proprietors of The New Haven Green, previously known as “The Committee of the Proprietors of the Common and Undivided Lands in New Haven,” was formed in 1805 as a self-perpetuating group. Its powers to control the remaining common lands of New Haven, including The Green, were confirmed by the State Legislature in 1810.
The Committee works to ensure The Green remains a vibrant, accessible space for all. This committee, made up of dedicated civic leaders, continues to uphold its responsibility to preserve and activate The Green through thoughtful planning and programming.
The name change was made recently to better represent the current responsibilities of The Committee — as The New Haven Green is the last of the Common and Undivided Lands in New Haven.
