Middletown, Rhode Island is located on historic Aquidneck Island, between Newport and Portsmouth. The community is bounded by Rhode Island Sound on the south, Narragansett Bay on the west, and the Sakonnet River on the east. Middletown is semi-agricultural with a diverse landscape. Delicate sand dunes broken up by a partially rocky coastline and snow white beaches give this community a seaside flair. Endless stone walls line the landscape, contributing to Middletown's classic New England ambience. Middletown's rich history is deeply bound to the endless promise and mystery of the sea. Early native settlers relied upon fishing and hunting for sustenance, maintaining a fairly quiet existence before the outbreak of a long war between the Narragansetts and the Wampanoags. After many years of struggle the Narragansetts, the largest branch of New England's Algonquin family, emerged victorious. In 1524, Giovanni da Verranzo became the first European explorer to make contact with the Indians of Narragansett Bay, although long-term relations between the natives and Europeans were not established until Dutch traders arrived in 1614. In 1638, Roger Williams facilitated the trasfer of Aqidneck Island to several of his fellow exiles, the proprietors of the ever-expanding Providence colony. At the time, what is now Middletown was included within the jurisdinction of Newport, anticipating a long historical association between the two communities. As Newport developed into one of America's leading commercial seaports during the colonial era, farms began appearing all over Middletown's countryside; local farmers now had an international market for their goods, and agriculture flourished in the area over the next two centuries. Wealthy Newport residents soon established country estates in the village, and continued growth and development led to Middletown's establishment as a separate town in 1743. Many hallmarks of Middletown's illustrious history survive today, with luxurious colonial mansions, antique farmhouses, one-room schoolhouses, St. George's School, and the historic Middletown Town Hall just some of the sites enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. Middletown's coast offers marvelous fishing, boating, surfing and swimming facilities.
