On this date in 1716, the Yale Corporation voted to move the college—then known as the Collegiate School—from Saybrook to New Haven. The decision followed a bidding war among Connecticut towns in which New Haven emerged victorious after offering eight acres of land next to the Green and £2,000. Thanks for 300 wonderful years, New Haven!
