NEW LONDON, CONNECTICUT EXTERMINATORS

New London is a coastal city in New London County. Located at the mouth of the Thames River in New London County, it is a port of entry on the northeast coast. It was one of the world’s three busiest whaling ports for several decades beginning in the early 19th century, along with Nantucket and New Bedford, Massachusetts. The wealth that whaling brought into the city furnished the capital to fund much of the city’s present architecture. The city subsequently became home to other shipping and manufacturing industries, but it has gradually lost most of its industrial heart. The area was called Nameaug by the Pequot Indians. John Winthrop, Jr. founded the first English settlement here in 1646, making it about the 13th town settled in Connecticut. Inhabitants informally referred to it as Nameaug or as Pequot after the tribe. In the 1650s, the colonists wanted to give the town the official name of London after London, England, but the Connecticut General Assembly wanted to name it Faire Harbour. The citizens protested, declaring that they would prefer it to be called Nameaug if it could not be officially named London. The legislature relented, and the town was officially named New London on March 10, 1658.

It’s no secret that New London has a rich history but it’s also a tourist destination. Understand and trace the town’s port history at the Custom House Maritime Museum.
