New Britain is a New England college town in the United States of America, in the state of Connecticut. Home of Marshall College, it is where Indiana Jones resides while teaching at the school. It is not far from New York City, which has the nearest international airport.

In 1936, after coming up empty-handed in his trip to Peru to find the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol, Jones returned to teach archaeology at Marshall College. After a visit from Major Eaton and Colonel Musgrove, he stopped by his house to pack for his trip to Nepal.

In 1957, after surviving a nuclear test and FBI interrogation in Nevada, Jones resumed teaching at Marshall College, when the FBI caused him to be fired by the university. He packed up some personal effects from his house, bid his friend Charles Stanforth farewell, and boarded a train toward New York City, when a greaser on a motorcycle got his attention. Back at Arnie's diner, he got more information from Mutt Williams about Harold Oxley's disappearance, but two KGB agents tried to apprehend the pair. Jones and Williams evaded the agents by driving around town, eventually losing their pursuers by driving across campus on Mutt's motorcycle. After stopping by Jones' residence to do some research, the pair left town to catch a plane to Nazca.

After their adventure with the Crystal Skull of Akator, Jones and Williams returned, along with Marion Ravenwood and Harold Oxley. Jones was made assistant dean at the college, and Jones and Ravenwood got married in a chapel.
