About New London
New London is located midway between Boston, Massachusetts and New York City and situated on the shores of both the Thames River and Long Island Sound.

Our historic waterfront city is best known as the home of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and America’s Tall Ship the Barque Eagle. New London is an historic whaling port, a center of higher learning, the location of a regional multi-modal transportation hub, and an arts and cultural center.
The Office of Development & Planning (ODP) administers and is responsible for a broad and complex array of planning, regulatory, economic and community development programs designed to improve the quality of life for the citizens of New London.
