Trowbridge Square Historic District, originally known as Village of Spireworth and Mount Pleasant, is a 26-acre (11 ha) historic district in the Hill section New Haven, Connecticut.
It includes most of the area laid out by Jocelyn and Thompson in 1830 as the Village of Spireworth.[2]:44
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. At that time it included 208 contributing buildings and one other contributing site.[1]
Its NRHP nomination asserted that the district was "historically significant as New Haven's most intact and cohesive surviving example of a working-class residential neighborhood which was planned and developed as such during the nineteenth century."[2]:29
