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.
