Hamden is the name of several places in the United States of America:
Hamden is a town in New Haven County, Connecticut, United States. The town's nickname is "The Land of the Sleeping Giant." The population was 60,960 at the 2010 census. Hamden is a suburb of the city of New Haven.
The town of Hamden ranked #53 in the CNN Money list of "America's best small cities" in 2012. In 2008, Fortune Magazine and CNN Money picked Hamden as #33 on their "Best Place to Live and Launch" list, citing Hamden's great blend of urban and suburban lifestyles. The article also pointed out Hamden's exceptional education system as well as its "New England Charm".
Originally settled by Puritans as part of the town of New Haven, Hamden was purchased by William Christopher Reilly and the Reverend John Davenport in 1638 from the local Quinnipiack Native American tribe. It remained a part of New Haven until 1786 when 1,400 local residents incorporated the area as a separate town, naming it after the English statesman John Hampden.
Largely developed as a nodal collection of village-like settlements (which remain distinct today), including Mount Carmel (home to Quinnipiac University), Whitneyville, Spring Glen, West Woods, and Highwood, Hamden has a long-standing industrial history. In 1798, four years after Eli Whitney began manufacturing the cotton gin in New Haven, he made arms for the U.S. government at a mill site in Hamden, where a waterfall provided a good source of power. At that site, Whitney introduced the modern era of mass production with the concept of interchangeable parts.

This remarkable video from the Hamden Historical Society is of a 16mm film of Hamden's 1936 Sesquicentennial Parade. The 200 feet of color and black-and-white film has been edited and all the parade participants have been identified through Rachel M. Hartley's 1943 book, "The History of Hamden Connecticut - 1786-1936" (Quinnipiack Press). The film features Hamden notables of the era, the Hamden Police and Fire Departments, as well as many other parade participants and floats from various Hamden organizations. The celebration culminated in some athletic competition among high school aged boys at Legion Field, off James Street.
Hey you, don't you give up
It's not so bad
There's still the chance for us
Hey you, just be yourself
Don't be so shy
There's reasons why it's hard
Keep it together, you'll make it alright
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets would envy what we do
This could be good, hey you
Hey you, open your heart
It's not so strange
You've got to change this time
Hey you, remember this
None of it's real including the way you feel
Keep it together, we'll make it alright
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets would envy what we do
This could be good, hey you
Save your soul, little sister
Save your soul, little brother
Hey you, save yourself
Don't rely on anyone else
First love yourself
Then you can love someone else
If you can change someone else
Then you have saved someone else
But you must first love yourself
Then you can love someone else
If you can change someone else
Then you have saved someone else
But you must first
Hey you, there on the fence
You've got a choice
One day, it will make sense
Hey you, first love yourself
Or if you can't
Try to love someone else
Keep it together, we'll make it alright
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets will envy what we do
This could be good, hey you
First love yourself
Then you can love someone else
If you can change someone else
Then you have saved someone else
But you must first love yourself
Then you can love someone else
If you can change someone else
Then you have saved someone else
