 A
Short History Of Narragansett
**Narragansett
was incorporated as a town in 1901. Prior to that time, it
was part of South Kingstown, with local history dating back
to 1675 when Roland Robinson settled in South County and
purchased land from the Narragansett Indians in
Pettaquamscutt and Pt. Judith
**Shipbuilding was an early industry with sailing vessels
built on the Narrow River at Middlebridge. South Ferry, or
Franklin Ferry, was a thriving community, offering ferry
service to Jamestown and Newport for more than a hundred
years in the early 1700’s. South Ferry Church was a landmark
on every sea captain’s chart of Narragansett Bay.
**Between 1888 and 1920 Narragansett was well known as an
elegant summer resort with a dozen more grand hotels and
many large estates and "cottages". Probably the most
prominent landmark was Narragansett Casino, covering nearly
one square block from Ocean Road to Mathewson Street. The
towers on Ocean Road served as the main entrance and covered
promenade and are all that remain after a devastating fire
in 1900. Most of the large hotels, all built in wood, were
destroyed by fire during the early 1900’s.
