Welcome to Morris Cove New Haven CT
Morris Cove, also known as East Shore is a neighborhood in the city of New Haven, Connecticut and is located on the east side of New Haven. Morris Cove was originally part of the town of East Haven and was named for one of it's early settlers, Thomas Morris. In 1881, Fair Haven, Grannis Corners and Morris Cove were ceded to New Haven.
There has always been some debate among the residents of the Annex-East Shore area as to where Morris Cove actually begins. While some think it starts at Upson Terrace, there are others who believe it begins at the entrance to Fort Hale Park and some who think it starts at Fort Hale Road. Having lived in Morris Cove for more than 30 years, this debate has lingered on. According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Shore_(New_Haven) Morris Cove is bordered on the north by Upson Terrace on the east by the town of East Haven, on the west and south by Long Island Sound.
When visiting Morris Cove, there are many wonderful sites to see. One of my favorites is the Lighthouse and Carousel at Lighthouse Point Park. Tweed New Haven Airport, Pardee Seawall Park, Pardee Morris House, Fort Hale Park andBlack Rock Fort, the remains of a revolutionary fort are other notable places to see.
Morris Cove is also home to Nathan Hale School, St. Bernadette School and two fabulous catering facilities, Amarante's Sea Cliff and Anthony's Ocean View.
Originally from the Annex (Forbes Avenue) my love for Morris Cove began when my dad purchased our first home in 1969. I have moved away and moved backed twice and now have resided here for the past ten years.
Yearly events that take place in Morris Cove are the Halloween Parade at the seawall, the Easter Egg Hunt at Fort Hale Park and the East Shore Neighborhood Preservation Association barbecue at Anthony's Ocean View.
