Wooster Square, Historic district in New Haven, Connecticut.
The district spans 40 acres around a rectangular park adorned with cherry trees and contains numerous residential buildings from different architectural periods.
Founded in 1825 when the city acquired the land, the area attracted ship captains and merchants who built Greek Revival homes near their businesses.
The neighborhood transformed in the late 1800s as Italian immigrants established homes and businesses, creating a center of Italian American heritage.
Located within walking distance of downtown New Haven, the district features multiple renowned pizza establishments and a weekly farmers market.
The district preserves 72 Yoshino cherry blossom trees planted in 1973, which bloom each spring during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival.
