http://www.westerlyrihomes.com Tour Westerly, RI neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices.

Westerly, Rhode Island is located in the southwestern corner of the State and enjoys the rustic atmosphere of an old New England village. The town of Westerly is composed of seven villages: Westerly, Watch Hill, Dunn's Corners, Misquamicut, Bradford, Shelter Harbor and Weekapaug.

First settled by colonists in 1661, Westerly boasts an illustrious history. Westerly's earliest inhabitants were Niantic Indians, whose name for the community was Misquamicut ("a place for taking salmon"). Westerly is perhaps best known for the granite that was once mined from its quarries, used for building purposes in neighboring towns and cities and for monuments in various parts of the country.

One of Rhode Island's premier vacation towns, Westerly offers a scenic coastline with seven miles of sandy beaches. Rowing, swimming, ocean sailing, fishing and hiking make this a favorite resort area and a mecca for tourism. For other town tours visit http://www.virtualhomes.com .
