City of New Haven
New Haven is located in northeastern
Macomb County in southern
Lenox Township,
approximately three miles from the St. Clair County line. It functions
as a bedroom community to the greater Detroit metro area, while still
retaining a small-town-like atmosphere.
This town was first settled in 1835, originally named New Baltimore
Station. In 1838, it was officially organized and named New Haven by one
of the town fathers, Adam A. Bennett. In 1865, the Grand Trunk Railroad
built a line through here on the way to Port Huron, which assured the
town’s permanence. It was incorporated as a village in 1869.
