A Look Back in Time
Long before New Haven was built, this area was home to different groups of Native American people. For example, a group from the Late Woodland period called the "Duffy Complex" once had a village southeast of where New Haven is now, near the Wabash River. Today, this old village site is an archaeological site, which means it's a place where scientists study the past by digging up old tools and remains.
Where is New Haven?
New Haven is in the very top corner of Gallatin County. The Little Wabash River forms part of its northern border.
