		But so great was the enthusiasm excited by the report which the soldiers brought of Quinnipiac, and so strong the confidence felt in the leaders of the expedition, that when the company left Boston in the spring of 1638 its number was considerably increased by accessions from Massachusetts.
		On the west side of this plain were broad salt meadows, bordering the West River on either bank, and extending inland almost to the Red Hill which the planters called the West Rock.
		Michael Wigglesworth,1 who came to Quinnipiac with his parents in October, 1638, when he was about seven years old, describes the cellar in which the family spent the first winter, as covered with earth on the roof.

	The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut - 1638 The Quinnipiac Indians
		Although the Quinnipiac natives were allies of the New Haven settlers, as a tribe they held to their own beliefs and rejected Christianity throughout the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
		Because the Quinnipiac tribe was well situated on the coast with an adequate harbor, they were one of the coastal tribes of Connecticut that profited from beaver trade with the Dutch.
		The Quinnipiac sold to Governor Eaton and his company of settlers all of their "pretended right" (according to the English) to a ten-mile square territory which embraced both sides of the New Haven harbor and the Quinnipiac River.

		The Quinnipiacks -- also spelled Quinnipiac -- were a Native American tribe of the Algonquin family who inhabited south-central Connecticut in the area around what is now the present-day city of New Haven and New Haven harbor.
		The name quinnipiac translates as "long water river" or "long water country" in the tribe's language Quiripi, which is an Eastern Algonquin dialect.
		The Quinnipiac River and Quinnipiac University are named for the tribe; before changing its name to New Haven, that town was also known as Quinnipiac/Quinnipiack.

		In Cheshire and Meriden the river is used for fishing and canoeing, including the Quinnipiac Watershed Association "Downriver Classic" Race in May. There are at least seven hiking trails along the river.
		The beauty of the Quinnipiac and its beaches in New Haven, as well as water quality, are marred by debris and trash which floats downriver; ongoing clean-ups work by the New Haven River Keeper and Parks department and community clean-ups continue to deal with this problem.
		This slide show was produced by the Quinnipiac River Watershed Association, a non-profit group which works hard to protect the river and to increase appreciation of its natural resources.

		The Quinnipiac River, in south-central Connecticut, sits in a corridor historically famous for its industrialization and environmental degradation.
		Despite heavy development, dense population, and the high demand for its water, the river is heavily buffered by natural vegetation along much of its length.
		Despite being the 3rd largest port in New England, the Quinnipiac estuary is one of the most productive seed oystering areas in the U.S. The State of Connecticut and EPA have identified the watershed as a high priority for improving water quality and habitat.

		Municipal and industrial wastewaters discharged to the river are the primary point sources of pollution to the Quinnipiac’s waters.
		The entire river and its major tributaries are sampled monthly to determine the relative contribution of each subwatershed and reach of the river.
		Much of the river corridor is still naturally vegetated, even along industrialized strips, and the river and its associated estuarine areas provide valuable habitat for wildlife, including some Connecticut state endangered and threatened species.

	BACTERIAL POLLUTION OF BATHING BEACH WATERS IN NEW HAVEN: Quinnipiac River
		Data obtained for the three stations on the beach adjoining the Dover street municipal bathhouse on the Quinnipiac river are presented in Tables VII and VIII.
		It will be noted that the total counts on agar at these stations are about the same as those recorded for the east shore beaches but higher on the average than those recorded for the west shore.
		It is of interest to note that these Quinnipiac stations are not far from the place where the oysters were taken which caused the famous typhoid epidemic at Wesleyan University in 1894 (Conn. 1894).

		Wildlife in the corridor along the river is surprisingly diverse considering its proximity to population centers.
		A fish consumption advisory was placed on the Eight Mile River and the stretch of the Quinnipiac River north of the Cheshire Gorge after the discovery of a PCB release site in Plantsville.

		A small unnamed tributary of the Quinnipiac near the Meriden/Cheshire border also produced an impressively diverse array of macroinvertebrates as did a privately owned woodland pond near Mountain Brook in Cheshire.

		The Quinnipiac River is the fourth largest river in Connecticut, and yet very little data exists regarding the diadromous fishes in that river.
		Migration of anadromous species is currently blocked by the first dam on the river, the Wallace Dam, located a short distance downstream of the Route 150 bridge in Wallingford (river kilometer 20).
		The Quinnipiac River is a good candidate for such a restoration because of the documented existence of an anadromous fishery (mainly Alosa spp.) dating back over 200 years.

	More Information on this Project
		Portions of the GIS were developed within the scope of a Non-Point Source Pollution (NPS) Study being conducted jointly by Yale University, The University of New Haven and the Quinnipiac River Watershed Association and funded by the State of Connecticut Dept. of Environmental protection and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
		GIS databases (coverages) available from the CT DEP were compiled within the scope of this project to develop a GIS for the Quinnipiac River, Mill River and West River, and the watersheds surrounding and discharging directly into New Haven Harbor and Long Island Sound in the New Haven area.
		The main stem of the Quinnipiac River is divided into three sections (upper, middle and lower) for ease of use.

		Soon the river opens up into a broad lake-like area which was created by the now defunct dam once operated by the Farmington River Power Company.
		The dam was built from the north bank of the river to the eastern end of James Eno’s Island.
		When the Farmington River was obstructed from reaching the Quinnipiac River following the last ice age, a resulting glacial lake grew in size and depth until the lake was able to top the soft sandstone of the ridge and began cutting what is now the Tariffville Gorge.

		If that happens, it would be a major step forward for the River Street Municipal Development Plan, which aims to transform a blighted 52-acre formerly heavy industrial area between River Street and the Quinnipiac River into a mixed-use light industrial and commercial area.
