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.
Today Clinton wears its history lightly but proudly — an oystering harbor, a colonial Main Street, and the surprising birthplace of Yale, all on the same quiet stretch of the Sound. Its story runs from a Native fishing ground through a colonial harbor and a shipbuilding century to the relaxed shoreline town of today. Wear a little of the town where the college began and the oysters never stopped.
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.
