West Haven Revisited

By: Carole A. Laydon McElrath

For more than 350 years, the hardy southern New England coastal town of West Haven has made its mark on the nations history. From the days when Pres. George Washingtons fledgling government gave permission to install a dike at Oyster River to Pres. Barack Obamas recognition of the West Haven Black Heritage Committees leaders, the town has reflected, in miniature, the growth of America. Important people like movie theater mogul Sylvester Z. Poli, his granddaughter Jeanne Poli, and the entrepreneurs who created Savin Rock Amusement Park helped shape West Havens development. The towns history was also impacted by Queen Victoria and Robert Todd Lincolns correspondence concerning the rededication of the Campbell grave site, the Razorbacks connection, and the 1882 murder of Jennie Kramer.
