Awaiting Your Return From Shore |
Located at
the southern tip of the largest island in Narragansett Bay, Newport was
established as a colony by William Coddington of Providence in 1639. Due to
its excellent harbor, it developed rapidly through sea trade, whaling and
smuggling - a fact that led some neighbors to call the tiny state “Rogues
Island.” Rhode Islanders also were in the forefront of Revolutionary
passion, resenting the economic pressures placed on them from England, which
severely affected their commercial power. A reputation of religious freedom
encouraged Jews, Quakers and Baptists to settle in Newport to become part of
the lucrative international trade until British occupation in 1776 caused a
drastic decline in prosperity. |
