The Savin Rock section of West Haven was the site of the Savin Rock Amusement Park, which began in the late 19th century as a regionally renowned seaside resort. It evolved into a general amusement park in the 20th century and eventually closed in the 1960s. The park ran along the west side of the New Haven Harbor beachfront. [A 40-year struggle over development followed, with the eventual result that most of Savin Rock will be open space forever.] - Wikipedia
