Charlestown sits on the southern coast of Rhode Island between Westerly and South Kingstown. The town takes its name from King Charles II of England and was set off from Westerly in 1738. Much of its 59 square miles lies within the ancestral territory of the Narragansett Indian Tribe, which maintains its tribal headquarters and a federally recognised reservation within the town.
The Narragansett Tribe received federal recognition in 1983 and holds roughly 1,800 acres of trust land in Charlestown, including the Royal Indian Burial Ground (Old Indian Cemetery) and the Indian Meeting House built in 1859. The tribe operates educational and cultural programs and has historically been central to debates over gaming rights in Rhode Island, though it has not operated a casino.
Ninigret Pond, one of the largest coastal salt ponds in Rhode Island, takes up a substantial portion of the town's southern edge. The Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge, occupying the former Charlestown Naval Auxiliary Landing Field, protects more than 900 acres of coastal habitat. Charlestown Town Beach and Blue Shutters Beach provide public access to the Atlantic. The population is roughly 8,400.
