Yale Daily News, Jan. 11, 2001:
“When New Haven was founded, the city was laid out into
a grid of nine squares surrounded by a great wilderness.
Last year History of Art Professor Emeritus Vincent Scully
said the original town plan reflected a feeling that the new city
should be sacred. Scully said the colony’s founders thought of
their new Puritan settlement as a ‘nine-square paradise on Earth,
heaven on earth, New Haven, New Jerusalem.'”
