Westerly is located on the southern tip of Rhode Island, bordering the southeastern corner of Connecticut.
The Town has an atmosphere of an old New England village,and a unique history in the annals of U.S. History. The indian name for Westerly was Misquamicut - a place for taking salmon.
Westerly was the first town incorporated in the King's Province on May 13, 1669, and the fifth town in the colony. On the 23rd of June 1686, the name was changed from Westerly to Haversham, but the former name was restored in 1689. The Towns of Charlestown, Hopkinton, and Richmond were later taken from the Town of Westerly.
In its early beginnings, Westerly was the frontier town of the colony. Out of this beginning, many diversified industries grew, but Westerly has been best known for the granite that was once taken from its quarries for building purposes in neighboring towns and cities, and for monuments in various parts of the country.
Westerly is also known as a vacation area. The position of Watch Hill almost surrounded by the ocean and bay with beautiful formation of rocks and sand beaches all contribute to its beauty. The winds bring in the cool bracing sea air and the temperature in the summer is rarely oppressive. Rowing, swimming, ocean sailing, fishing, and hiking make this a favorite resort area. Westerly's seven miles of sandy beaches are a mecca for tourism. The seven-mile strip is composed of the Misquamicut State beach, Westerly Town beach, public and many private beaches. The State Beach is open year-round, while other beaches are open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The town of Westerly is located just minutes away from Interstate 95 and is divided by US Route 1. Granite Street, a five-mile portion of Route 1, runs through the heart of Westerly. It is ranked the 10th busiest street in Rhode Island with average daily traffic of 25,750 (both directions ).
Coastal Westerly (population 22,966), tucked into Rhode Island's southwest corner on the Connecticut border, has been a favorite seaside vacation spot for more than 100 years. The area originally known as Misquamicut, located on Block Island Sound and the Pawcatuck River, was home to Narragansett Indians prior to the establishment of an English outpost in 1637.
By 1661, settlers had forced the Indians across the river and established a permanent settlement on its banks. After a division in 1669, this site became known as the "westerly" section and incorporated.
Westerly grew as a shipbuilding center, and U.S. naval officer Oliver Perry built gunboats here before the War of 1812. Westerly has had textile and other light manufacturing industries and much of the granite used for Civil War monuments across the county was mined here.
Westerly has several significant historic areas and was recognized in 2002 as one of America's "Dozen Distinctive Destinations" by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The well-preserved 19th and 20th century commercial center, known as Westerly Village, is the economic heart of town. Along the Pawcatuck River, the industrial villages of Bradford, Potter Hill, and White Rock still reflect their 19th century origins.
Passenger and freight transportation is available via Amtrak Rail Service and the Westerly State Airport. The town of Westerly is composed of seven villages also known as fire districts: Westerly, Watch Hill, Dunn's Corners, Misquamicut, Bradford, Shelter Harbor and Weekapaug. Between 1980 and 1990 Westerly experienced a 14.05% population growth. Currently, Westerly supports a population of over 23,000, although it nearly doubles during the summer due to the large number of vacationers and seasonal residences. Encompassing an area of 33 square miles, the town's average population density is projected to be 626 per square mile.
In 2002, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Westerly as one of the 12 Most Distinctive Destinations in the country. The unique, well-preserved architecture downtown, coupled with 55 historic sites, such as the Babcock-Smith House and Flying Horse Carousel, makes it no surprise that Westerly received this outstanding.
Dr. Joshua Babcock was Westerly's first physician as well as a chief justice of Rhode Island and a major general during the Revolutionary War. He was also a personal friend of Benjamin Franklin, who supposedly supplied the lightning rods for the house's gambrel roof. This two-story Georgian-styled wooden home was built in 1734 and contains six fireplaces which feed into one large main chimney. Orlando Smith, a later owner of the house, discovered granite on the property in 1846, which led to Westerly becoming one of the country's leading granite centers. In 1972 the 124 Granite Street building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. 401-596-5704
 Westerly marks the western edge of Rhode Island. Travel too far or make an uncautious turn and you could fall of the edge of the state into Pawcatuck, CT.
The city prides itself on its granite mining heritage and is a haven for antique shopping, historians, and people looking for great food and theater.
The Granite Theatre is a handsomely restored Greek Revival Church that sits at the foot of Granite Street in downtown Westerly, Rhode Island. Year round, the Granite Theatre will stage various forms of entertainment including Broadway plays, children's plays, lecture programs, cabaret acts, and more. One Granite Street, Westerly, RI 02891 (401) 596-2341
You should also keep a slot on your schedule for Westerly's Summer Pops concert in June and their First Night celebrations at New Year's. Their excellent red-tile-roofed library has a historical document section that would tempt any history buff.
South from downtown Westerly on 1A will take you toward the summertime favorite, Watch Hill, with its beaches, flying horses carrousel (they call it a "merry-go-round") historic homes, and Watch Hill Lighthouse.
A well-maintained railway station sits at the north end of downtown and a small airport is east of town for private planes. Route 1 (Post Road) travels through the city, but by road, the easist path is from Exit 92 from I-95 in Connecticut, which will take you to Route 1 just west of the state line. Turn left and cross the river to get to downtown Westerly.
Many are attracted to the pristine shoreline, with its unspoiled dunes, salt ponds and even islands. Others prefer the rural serenity of inland South County where you can still see dairy cows and horses grazing.
Step into Downtown Westerly and step back to a time where a main street was actually a "Main Street."
Numerous Westerly businesses call downtown home, and whether you're looking for fashionable clothing for a night out on the town, that hard to find piece to complete your antique collection, or a simple haircut, Downtown Westerly is the place to look.
 The heart of the downtown area is Wilcox Park, an 18 acre Victorian Strolling Park that is home to beautiful gardens, statuary, and arboretum.
Wilcox Park is the home to many Westerly and Chamber of Commerce events including the Virtu Art Festival, The Summer Pops and The Colonial Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park.
Originally designed by Warren Manning, this 18-acre park remains true to its Victorian beginning in 1898. Its quiet pathways are graced by native and exotic trees, shrubs and flowers. A Tree Walk, produced by park staff and available at the Westerly Public Library, details over 35 species and their locations. The park is host to Colonial Theatre's Shakespeare-in-the-Park and the Chorus of Westerly's Summer Pops. Located behind the Westerly Public Library, the park has been on the National Register of Historic Places.

Schools Many new residents are drawn to the state because of the quality of our schools. Boasting high test scores and progressive thinking, South County schools share a reputation for being among the best in the state.
Westerly administrators speak of a "zero failure policy," of refusing to "give up on any student," and of providing students with "meaningful supports" that are "child-focused." For example, recognizing the need for integrating services within the school setting for students with a variety of needs, Westerly High School developed the Westerly Integrated Social Services Program (WISSP). Located in the school building and directed by a school psychologist, WISSP coordinates school services and community resources in a place accessible to students and their families to meet any social or emotional needs they might have. Its vision is "to promote all students' success in school and enhance the quality of life for all families in the community" (WISSP Pamphlet, 1997).
