Whitneyville Congregational Church
The church congregation was established in 1795, and built its first sanctuary in the Hamden Plains area. By 1833 the first church was too small, and the search began for land to build a larger structure. A gift of land from the Whitney family convinced the congregation to relocate to Whitneyville, then a community undergoing rapid growth due to the nearby Eli Whitney Gun Factory. The church was completed in 1834; its designer is not known. wikipedia
