Several 18th-century houses, including the parsonage of Benjamin Trumbull (pastor 1760–1820), remain. Brickmaking and shipbuilding were early industries. The town's manufactures are now well diversified and include aircraft engine parts, chemicals, machinery, and tools. The North Haven campus of Gateway Community-Technical College (1992) is located there. Area 21 square miles (54 square km). Pop. (1990) 22,247; (2000) 23,035.
