Portsmouth, Rhode Island is one of three communities on Aquidneck Island. Established in 1638 by Anne Hutchinson, Portsmouth was the first town in the nation established by a woman, and, according to many, was the first true democracy in America. The Portsmouth Compact of 1638 is the first authentic guarantee of civil and religious freedom in the new world.
One of the most beautiful towns in New England, Portsmouth offers several public golf courses, antique shops and numerous marinas. Recreational activities along the waterfront include surfing, swimming, fishing, windsurfing and boating and are enjoyed by residents and visitors alike on several beaches throughout the community.
Much of the town's working population is employed in private industry in Portsmouth and neighboring communities. The town boasts a central location along the eastern seabord, with the nearby highways of I-95, I-195 and Rt. 24 making Portsmouth easily accesible to major metropolitan areas in the Northeast.
