Long Wharf is a waterfront district and neighborhood of the city of New Haven, Connecticut.
The neighborhood is primarily a mixed-use district, with a combination of commercial, educational, industrial, port, and recreation facilities taking up the majority of the neighborhood's land space.
Interstate 95 bisects the neighborhood from the southwest to northeast; it intersects with Interstate 91 in the extreme northeast section of the neighborhood.
As early as the beginning of the 18th century the area of CityPoint was occupied by the shacks of commercial oystermen, which gave rise to the name Oyster Point by which it was known since mid 1870s and until the decline of the Connecticut oyster industry in the first quarter of the century.
It is bounded on the North by interstate 95, on the East by the CityPoint development, on the West by the Kimberly Avenue Bridge and embankment; and on the South by the harbor channel leading in to the mouth of the West River.
CityPoint can be an avenue for the study of estuaries and waterways; or this unit can also exist in harmony with a more in-depth study of geological changes in the land formation of Connecticut.
