Many say, it is to get away, to find peace, to feel a certain freedom. That Reflections on Mapping Freedom feeling of freedom has been part of the unique history in the sands of time here in Westerly. Local 1600s coastal and farm colonization historian and RI researcher Sandry Karasuk Puchaski (known to her friends as Sandy Beaches) illustrates here some of the meaningful facts that make Misquamicut special.
One Free River: Westerly was as far west as King Charles II would define for religious freedom. The protective border for freedom of religion was this river.
Two Peoples: The Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was founded in 1636. RI’s religious history begins with the Wampanoag and Narragansett peoples who were its original inhabitants. The Native Americans welcomed religious dissidents from around the world and were tolerant of the new arrivals.
Three Colonies: In 1665 King Charles II of England dissolved the charters of the three colonies that were in dispute: Westerly was one of those charters, and assumed governance and renamed it Kings County. Later in 1669 The General Assembly of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations organized Kings County into the Town of Westerly. (Last year the state voted and passed dropping the “and Providence Plantations” from the Ocean State’s official name.)
Four Towns: After 1669 the Town of Westerly organized itself into four areas: Westerly, Charlestown, Richmond and Hopkinton. Richmond was recorded as a separate and distinct town in 1747. Westerly was named Haversham from 1686 - 1689 (The Haversham name is still here, you can find this popular local restaurant on Route One.)
An abbreviated history Seven Villages: Later Richmond split into 7 villages: Carolina, of the land we claim Hope Valley, Hopkinton, Kenyon, Shannock, West as our beloved beach Kingston, Wood River Junction and Wyoming. 12 • MBA MISQUAMICUT GUIDE WWW.MISQUAMICUT.ORG WWW.MISQUAMICUT.ORG MBA MISQUAMICUT GUIDE • 13 Hop on the Pizza Bus Beaches Rhode Island Pizza Co. & Cream
