Everything about Mill River Connecticut totally explained
The
Mill River is a
river in the
New England region of the
United States, located entirely in the state of
Connecticut.
The river starts in the town of
Cheshire, flows through
Hamden and
New Haven, and discharges into
New Haven Harbor on
Long Island Sound.
A mill for grinding corn was built on a
Quinnipiack ford near
East Rock in
1642. By
1780 there were eight mills. In time the river provided power for
Eli Whitney's gun factory, now the
Eli Whitney Museum, and became a town water supply.
The Mill River played a great part in the history of the
Cedar Hill area of New Haven. It is still a local fishing and hiking area. There is a small boat launch for paddling on the river to view the amazing landscape.
