The West Haven baby bodysuit, for the town that was Connecticut’s Coney Island. Soft fine jersey with the West Haven vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the West Haven piece most often bought for someone else.

Soft, breathable, and easy to change: an infant bodysuit in light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey with a secure snap crotch, ribbed binding, and side seams for durability. Solids are 100% combed ringspun cotton; heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

Settled in 1648 as West Farms of the New Haven Colony, West Haven did not incorporate until 1921, making it Connecticut’s youngest town. By then it was famous: the Savin Rock House hotel of 1838, the trolley and 1,500-foot pier of 1870 and the White City of the early 1900s had made Savin Rock the playground of New England.

At its peak in 1919 the park drew about 1.2 million visitors a year to its wooden coasters, the Thunderbolt and the Racer among them. The rides closed in 1966, but the boardwalk still runs along the state’s longest public shoreline, Jimmies has served since 1925, and the Savin Rock Festival has returned. The mark on this piece is that boardwalk.

More From West Haven Connecticut

All West Haven Connecticut Items

West Haven is older than its amusement park by three hundred years. The shoreline belonged to the Quinnipiac people long before English settlers from the New Haven Colony laid out farms here in 1648 and called the place ‘West Farms.’ For generations it was a quiet district of oystermen and farmers on the west side of New Haven Harbor. It joined with North Milford to form the town of Orange in 1822, then set off on its own in 1921 to become the Town of West Haven — Connecticut's youngest — and was chartered as a city in 1961. One of the state's oldest settlements wears the title of its newest city.

Like every wooden seaside park, Savin Rock lived close to its end. Fires, the great 1938 hurricane, and finally the bulldozers of urban renewal took the rides down piece by piece, and the last of the park closed in 1966. What replaced it is, in its quiet way, just as West Haven: the rides gave way to Savin Rock Park and a long shorefront boardwalk, the heart of the longest publicly accessible shoreline in Connecticut — some three and a half miles of beach running west to Bradley Point and the Sandy Point bird sanctuary. The coasters are memory; the walk by the water is still here, and a revived Savin Rock Festival keeps the old name alive each summer.

Why People Visit West Haven

West Haven appeals with simple shoreline beauty and strong local pride. Visitors pair long beach and boardwalk walks with small museums, the historic Green, and the nostalgia of Savin Rock. It is relaxed, local, and close to the water, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public spaces. The vintage-summer feeling of the old amusement park is evergreen, and history and everyday shoreline life sit side by side in a welcoming way.
