After Pierson died in 1707 the school moved to Saybrook, settled in New Haven in 1716 and took the name Yale College in 1718; Pierson’s statue stands on East Main Street.
Our Clinton logo carries Connecticut's oyster above "Est. 1636," the founding era of the Connecticut Colony — the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Connecticut shoreline place, printed in a worn black-and-white that recalls an old oyster-crate label. The oyster is the shoreline in shorthand: bounty pulled from the Sound, patience, and salt. What makes this one Clinton is everything around it — the parsonage where Yale began, the harbor that raised a shipping king, and the green where the militia drilled.
Why People Visit Clinton
Clinton offers the Connecticut shoreline at its most relaxed — a real harbor town with beaches, marinas, and a colonial Main Street, plus the surprising distinction of being where Yale began. Visitors come for the water, the history, and the easy shoreline pace, and stay for the beaches, the harbor, and the oysters.
