New London is a village in Huron County, Ohio, United States.

[4] The village was named after New London, Connecticut, the native home of a share of the early settlers.

The village is located 24 miles (39 km) south of Lake Erie.

Although well within the Great Lakes region (a sub region of the Midwest) and arguably located at the center of the Rust Belt, significant influences from New England and the South have contributed to New London's cultural identity.

The village was founded by settlers from Connecticut (and to a lesser extent other parts of the Northeast) along with neighboring communities in the Firelands in the early nineteenth century.

In the mid twentieth century, at the climax of the manufacturing boom in the Great Lakes region, New London welcomed an influx of new residents from the Appalachian South - primarily Eastern Kentucky - to work in fields and factories locally and in nearby metropolitan Cleveland.

Today, the influence of these Southerners is most evident in the hospitality and kindness of New London's residents, and the close-knit community that has grown up in the midst of such diversity.

[citation needed] As of the census[9] of 2010, there were 2,461 people, 960 households, and 649 families living in the village.
