West Haven is a city in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States, with a population around 60,000. It is known as "Connecticut's Youngest City", but it is ironically one of the state's oldest settlements, with a great deal of history. The Savin Rock section of West Haven was the site of the Savin Rock Amusement Park, which began in the late 19th century as a regionally renowned seaside resort. It evolved into a general amusement park in the 20th century and eventually closed in the 1960s. Th
e park ran along the west side of the New Haven Harbor beachfront and is today a walk and bike path. Several restaurants remain as last reminders of the area including Jimmies, Turk's of Savin Rock, both for their seafood and split hot dogs, and Mike's Apizza & Restaurant.
