Westerly: Granite Town on the Connecticut Line
Westerly sits at the southwestern corner of Rhode Island where the Pawcatuck River forms the Connecticut state line. From the mid-nineteenth century through the 1930s the town was one of the country's major sources of monumental granite. Quarries in the village of Bradford and around the broader town produced blue, pink, and red granite used in Civil War memorials and public buildings across the eastern United States. The Antietam Battlefield obelisk, the Gettysburg pillars, and numerous other national monuments were cut from Westerly stone.
Watch Hill, a coastal village on the southern tip of the town, retains a late-nineteenth-century resort character with a shingle-style hotel, the Flying Horse Carousel from 1879, and Ocean House, a grand wooden hotel that was demolished and then rebuilt to historically accurate specifications in 2010. Napatree Point extends west from Watch Hill as a protected conservation area and beach.
Misquamicut State Beach, on the ocean between Weekapaug and Watch Hill, draws summer visitors from across southern New England and is one of the most popular beaches in Rhode Island. Westerly has a population of approximately 23,000 (the parsed list cites 17,936) and the town shares many commercial and cultural ties with Pawcatuck, Connecticut, directly across the river.
